David Attenborough, Miley Cyrus and Frank Skinner on Ross on friday
ugh what a thought, it's enough to make me eat my fish and chips twice.

The Daily Mail has got all the info and photos of Andrew Sachs daughter in stockings and high heels you need - including a transcript of the phone calls and Andrew Sachs saying basically 'calm down everybody'.
Miss Baillie said last night: 'I've only just got back.'I was aware of what happened but I just need some time to get my head together now.'I don't want to say anything more until I've had a chance to speak to my agent.'

Isn't it a pretty pass when Andrew Sachs is reduced to doing Harry Enfield "Scouser" impressions for a living?

Haven't the Mail managed to shoehorn Peter Mandelson into the story yet?

I believe Leading Writer Leo McKinstry is busy scouring local Foot Locker branches even as we speak.

Telegraph, as Tom said above, also provides a link to the source - so much for "double standards."
Someone should report all these newspapers to the PCC and have them formally censured.

Blimey - the comments on that telegraph article.This all seems to be getting out of hand now. Cameron wading in on the news just now, predictably. It seems obvious that a head is going to roll, probably the producer of the programme?

You're joking??!?!? That's not predictable!

Thing is when you employ someone for his risky mouthy not scared to offend former sex and drug addict reputation it's a bit pointless slapping his wrist for living up to expectations.

What's Jonathan Ross's excuse tho?
― Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Of course it is - any chance to bash the beeb and look like he's doing what needs to be done to fix broken britain, he's there.

What will your excuse be when senior Labour figures start doing the same thing?
Cameron's doing it because it keep George Osborne off the front pages for a bit longer.

If Andrew Sachs had been a muslim would they have broadcast it? Of course not. They pick and choose who can be offended.- Chris, Romford, 27/10/2008 23:43

cameron should ask russell brand to sleep with george osborne's daughter to get him off the front pages.

Considering she's 5 years old, that ploy would certainly work a treat

Actually Cameron merely seems to be mimicking Labour MP Paul Farrelly's earlier call. Bandwagon jumpers the lot of them.

LOL I saw that "chris, romford" comment too. It doesn't even make any sense!

― Vampire romances depend on me (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 15:25 (fifteen years ago) link
So let me get this straight.
Gordon Brown pulls the Western world from the brink of economic collapse.
David Cameron has so little to do with his time that he is able to complain about a couple of disc jockeys on the radio.
As far as the next election is concerned it's what is commonly known as a "fucking no-brainer."

"It also emerged yesterday that Ms Baillie is part of a dance troupe known as Satanic Sluts Extreme, who describe themselves as “four of the sexiest depraved London jezebels”, and who perform “violent, horrific and sexy burlesque shows”.
Where's that thread Dom started about how steampunk and neo-burlesque is worse than hitler again?
― The Plastic Fork (Pashmina), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 15:53 (fifteen years ago) link
That didn't emerge yesterday, I was reading about that at the weekend. Didn't think it particularly relevant to anything in particular, but then again I don't write for the Daily Mail.
― ailsa, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 15:55 (fifteen years ago) link
She reminds me of Marilyn Manson a bit, it's kind of grim.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link
No, it's not even remotely relevant (presumably the detail is added to arouse outrage the mail/torygraph's readers) seeing as how the 2 prats phoned the goth woman's grandfather. It's just...."burlesque"....guh.
― The Plastic Fork (Pashmina), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link
She also makes for a really unconvincing goff, as you'd expect from anyone who tried for a career as a Page 3 model before she realised Trivium fans are a lot less discerning than white van men.

I think I'll start a burlesque dance troupe called "Satanic Sluts Mild". Who's in?

Satanic Sluts Mild? think they have that on tap in the Intrepid Fox

what is the context for Cameron and Brown's statements? questions from backbenchers in HOC or "news" journalists?
Clegg's just weighed in now too: "Kill the bastards" apparently.

Then sentence was passed, as followeth, viz. That they should return to the place from whence they came, from thence be drawn to the common place of execution, and there to be hanged by the necks, then cut down alive, their privy-members cut off, and bowels taken out to be burnt before their faces, their heads to be severed from their bodies, and their bodies divided into four parts, to be disposed of as the Daily Mail should think fit.

For fuck's sake, literally everyone involved in this (apart from Sachs, possibly) comes out of this really badly, don't they. Why the hell Brown thought he had to weigh in I'll never know. It's the final, terrible apotheosis of celebrity culture [/rant]
