TR is a correct combination correctly repeated but both time in the wrong place, if that helps. Third hint now going in.

But what about my Mastermind points?

As you have no letters in correct positions I didn't think that would be as much help at this late stage but if you insist, you have 10 correct letters. 0B, 10W (unless it's the other way round - never can remember)
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Information is always helpful.
If you get enough guesses, you can "walk your shots" to the right answer, even if you get no letters in the correct place initially.

Oh, I thought that last one was the new poop emoticon, so I was thinking of a different Armstrong... one who ended up losing some medals. But then that didn't fit with the 70s and 80s.

I've just read Blackburn's statement[^] and, taken with the fact the BBC are not commenting at this time, there appear to be more questions arrising than are being answered.
I wonder if this is Hissing Sid all over again?

I wouldn't expect the Beeb to comment yet - the report it's based on isn't published for two weeks yet, and it would prejudice or defeat the purpose of the report to comment on it before people can read the document the comments would have to be based on!
Having said that, for them to take the extreme action to publically dump him two weeks before is ... um ... unusual, and implies that there is material in the report that they are trying to distance themselves from as fast as possible.
Odd way to behave in both cases...One side dumps the other, the the dumpee immediately starts legal action to get his job back before any information on why has been released.
Did TB punch the DG over a supper row or something?

I was listening on Radio4 this morning and they mentioned that the BBC has not commented yet... that's BBC Radio4

Hmm, All the BBC appears to have done is harbor peados & rapists. Who knew?. If TB has done a JC, at this rate we will end up with Weather staff presenting....

He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy! Allegedly! Though to be honest it's damn near impossible to work out what he's actually supposed to have done.

According to the BBC News at lunchtime, he was "failing to fully co-operate with the Jimmy Savile inquiry" and "Janet Smith's inquiry had rejected the evidence from the Radio 2 DJ"
It may be a massive over-reaction from the Beeb - they are good at those - but it's also possible that since he worked closely with Savile that he coloured his evidence to present him in a better light, or hide his own knowledge of what was going on. We probably will never know.
Either way, I can't imagine Blackburn as a sexual predator; it would be like being molested by a Cabbage Patch Doll, or groped by My Little Pony...

I am completely shocked at his sacking.
I had absolutely no idea he was still employed.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Being a pedantic sort of cruciverbalist, I would say your clue is stretching the rules somewhat. Using around to indicate an anagram, and also, to surround other words, is not really on.
