COUNTRY: England
NETWORK TV: BBC
JOURNALIST: Miriam O'Reilly (I enclose the article)
Too many wrinkles for prime time. That is why the BBC was fired in April of 2009, Miriam O'Reilly, host of the "Countryfile". The anchorwoman, then 51 year old, was considered by the British public television too elderly to lead a program that was about to be moved to prime time Sunday. Now, however, the action brought by O'Reilly was welcomed by British employment tribunal, which condemned the BBC to reinstate the leader in video and pay an astronomical fine of € 180 000. The judge ruled that the superiors of O'Reilly were obsessed by the opportunity to rejuvenate and bring the small screen "faces of different ethnic groups in order to attract an audience of younger viewers. In its place, in fact, it was assumed the 38 year-old Julia Bradbury. O'Reilly's lawyers, reported that the court upheld the appeal for age discrimination, but not sex discrimination. According to the journalist, four other women "over 40" would have been discriminated against because of their age and ending dismissed from the program itself, while the host of the broadcast, John Craven, 68, was left in place. In his account to the courts O'Reilly reported that a director had warned her: "you must be careful with those wrinkles when you get the high-definition television ..." and asked if he had not arrived, "the time to use the botox" . She, a veteran of the BBC had refused to undergo special beauty treatments: "I do not think - he says - that a man would have been required. I knew then that the requests were part of the BBC's attitude towards women: they think that to go on air should be pretty young. A man with wrinkles is wise, a woman with wrinkles is a witch. " In exchange for his expulsion from the program the company had offered to O'Reilly running a radio program on environment and retirees. An exciting opportunity very soon. The court, in some ways historic courts, has done justice: "It was a stressful event - celebrating the verdict tells the journalist - but go against the BBC was the right thing to do." The station, meanwhile, did the mea culpa by engaging in a hasty reverse, to produce new guidelines for the choice of talking heads and ensuring that from now on, the selection will be made in accordance with justice: "In the case of O'Reilly we clearly wrong. " The employment law experts have hailed the verdict as a trailblazer, "It's the first victory in a case of discrimination which denies that workers actually have to be young and beautiful."
