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!

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:14 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Cool Hand Tiller (onimo), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:17 (fifteen years ago) link

What's Jonathan Ross's excuse tho?

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.

A country only rich people know (Ned Trifle II), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link

If Andrew Sachs had been a muslim would they have broadcast it? Of course not. They pick and choose who can be offended.

That's David Cameron's excuse?

Mark G, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link

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

Fake Tuomas (ken c), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 14:24 (fifteen years ago) link

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!

Every SINGLE time I see this thread title I think it refers to Russel brand athletic-wear.

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."

Gordon Brown pulls the Western world from the brink of economic collapse.

When did he do that then? I must have missed it.

Cool Hand Tiller (onimo), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link

lol misspelled into amirite!

glad you stopped using Annoying Display Name

not the same without you

"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.

Carrie Bradshaw Layfield (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

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

The Plastic Fork (Pashmina), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 16:05 (fifteen years ago) link

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

Cittaslow Mazza (blueski), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 16:06 (fifteen years ago) link

It's the Goth version of Sweetheart Stout

Gordon Brown speaks out on this matter of national importance

ailsa, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:00 (fifteen years ago) link

"Christ, what a planet"

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:02 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Cittaslow Mazza (blueski), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:05 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:05 (fifteen years ago) link

... bit harsh on Russell, but fair enough for Ross

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:06 (fifteen years ago) link

the gunk tank's too good for 'em

this is win-win for everybody

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:07 (fifteen years ago) link

longest link ever.

Would be better as a step-by-step illustration by the guy who does the football cartoon in the Sun

It's the timeline that had to be made.

Neil S, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:45 (fifteen years ago) link

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]

Neil S, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 18:53 (fifteen years ago) link

oh i doubt there's anything final about this!

lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:12 (fifteen years ago) link

yes it's going to run and run isn't it.

Neil S, Tuesday, 28 October 2008 19:16 (fifteen years ago) link

I like it that Brown had to make that statement whilst in France, standing alongside Sarkozy during a press conference about the current finacial crisis.
