Sir Trevor McDonald has escaped accusations of racism, despite calling the late comedian Bernard Manning a "fat, white bastard."
He made the comment on his satirical ITV1 show, News Knight, one week after the death of the stand-up comic at the age of 76.
A total of 112 viewers complained to media regulator Ofcom, citing the broadcaster's "inappropriate and/or racist" comments.
"The programme was broadcast a full hour after the 9pm watershed, when more challenging material can sometimes be expected," it said
and argued that the comments were "clearly intended" to parody Manning's own comic style.
**Fair enough, so according to that arguement I can now say that Sir Trevor McDonald you are "A fat black Bastard."
