According to the Telegraph, Mitch Benn and Jon Holmes have been dropped from "The Now Show".
Disgraceful. It's never been the same since Marcus Brigstocke stopped being on so often, but.... not to have Mitch Benn's songs? Not to have Jon Holmes (arguably playing Paul Spragg to Punt and Dennis's Briggs and Richardson) and jokes about his height?
What's sad about this kind of decision is that it basically underlines that the BBC isn't prepared to support women or diversity, because clearly the feeling is that other comedians wouldn't get an audience if they were given their own show.
