Did anyone else catch this the other day?
The subject was 9/11 and got quite heated at times but had to stop at one point because a guests radio mic battery had gone.
Now, this show goes out live and we saw a good example when Karl Beattie obviously forgot.
For some reason the cameraman decided to focus on Beattie as the microphone was fixed and he decided to have a laugh by making certain hand gestures to camera.
They're not the sort of thing you expect to see that time of day including the gesture that is similar to that used by divers to indicate everything is OK, the finger and V signs.
The guests themselves looked very embarressed.
Not too sure if Beattie will record another apology to tack onto the repeat.

Didnt see this particular episode but from your description it sounds evident of the behaviour and tone of Mr Beattie in other ones i have watched.
Guests are often cut off mid stream by Beattie not to offer any great insight but to ramble on with endless anecdotes and purile attempts at humour that leave even the most sycophantic of guests looking rather embaressed and frustrated.
To be honest his childish underdeveloped sense of humour is only marginally less annoying than some of the hypocritical, fantastical , and in some cases just utterly incorrect statements he seems to believe are fact.He often redefines his stance from minute to minute nevermind from episode to episode and seems to do so depending on which guests are present.
It seems to me he has become so irreverant , so egotistical and so used to having no one to answer to he clearly forgets just how ridiculous some of his actions and statements appear wallowing in his "emperors new clothes" status within the circle of friends and colleagues he has handpicked to appear.
There is sometimes dissent to his views on the show but its often ignored or laughed off with some stupid quip....the man simply does not engage anyone or anything that might challenge him and its clear he simply doesnt give a s*it for anyone who dares to call BS or questions him on most anything.
Perhaps his constant need to play the fool hides a side that may in seldom seen instances hint at insecurities or even doubts surrounding his views or ability to defend them or perhaps they are simply the childish ramblings of a man who feels no need to enter into debate with anyone he doesnt feel he can win round or influence.
Either way his unexplained debate show just comes across as a medium for his rants against derek acorah, whom he never actually names, a self indulgent laugh in , or simply a wasted oppertunity to engage with people who dont share his views.

Good post Fluff. Why am I not in the least surprised by this mans attitude? Talk about the ego has landed.
He's a c*ck of the highest order.

Oh how fantastic ! I have long wanted to vent my spleen at the s*ite mr beattie utters and i could not have put it more eloquently than fluffet ! This show is just a vehicle for KB and wyman to pisstake and have a laugh ! No serious debate ever EVER takes place ! Beattie just takes swipe after swipe at every opportunity at Acorah (which is fair dues) but its just getting TIRESOME ! Anyway well said fluffet !
