BBC news veteran John Humphrys yesterday branded TV soaps and Big Brother “damaging, seedy and cynical”.

John, 61 – presenter of Radio 4’s Today — admitted he had not watched the box for five years.

But when he tuned in recently, he was shocked by the sex and violence.

And he does not want his four-year-old son Owen watching.

He told the Edinburgh TV Festival: “The first time I watched BB live, there were two men lying on beds and talking about women — or rather ****ing women.

“Characters in EastEnders seemed never to walk past each other with a smile and a nod, but with a snarl and a threat.”
