Rolf Harris was a terrible artist as well as a creepy entertainer. He wrote asking if he could paint my portrait for a BBC series. I declined. But will the BBC now be wiping the tapes of all his shows? And what's its position on its extensive catalogue of Savile [Jimmy Savile] material?

Airbrushing irons out cellulite, smooths away muffin tops and eradicates pimples. It results in bland, homogenised images of women (and some men) who are eerily perfect. People you never see on the street, in everyday life, where we sweat, bulge and grow hairs in inconvenient places. Now, airbrushing is being applied to our social history.

[on Sir Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall and Rolf Harris] Removing all these accolades and awards from sex criminals is pretty pointless. The fact that they were given in the first place tells you an awful lot about the society we live in. I don't want any of the television shows made by this ghastly trio to be wiped. I want them to be studied for future generations, to try to understand how none of us spotted what these men were up to. I want their honours to stand as a condemnation of the whole rotten system of dishing out tributes to those who don't deserve it. I don't want these three men to be airbrushed out of history, because that represents a futile attempt to diminish the horror of what they did. To stop it happening again, we need to keep their memory alive. And start asking questions about ourselves. Show less «

I'm no fan of Jeremy Clarkson's. He's right up there on my list of five most hated men.
