Because he was an incredibly annoying little tw*t? He used to talk utter drivel, I remember him totally ruining a chat on astronomy on Danny Kelly's show with his utterly inane comments.
Anyway, he's lucky to still have a job. He should have been sacked when Whale was - he was the producer of that show and should have taken his share of the blame.
spot on, boyblue32. What an irritating little chancer Ash is. Why doesn't he get his own show instead of riding on the coat tails of someone else. He wrecked James Whales programme. Whale indulged him too much, and let him have too much of a say, none of which was worth listening to.
