Ally Ross: "Ponderland (Renamed Ponderlife)"

Very good, son, you should consider becoming a comedian.

Oh for the good old days of common decency comedy on the BBC, such as racist caricatures of Spanish waiters who are routinely shouted at, insulted, beaten up and generally humiliated.

Surprised no one's thought about reissuing Noosha Fox's 1977 single "Georgina Bailey" yet.

Marcello, I am the only person on ILX in the UK to get that reference. I'm surprised that no-one's interviewed Noosha yet, because they've interviewed just about anyone else with even the slightest connection to this whole mess.

Gave away a sticker making fun of a disabled kid, or gave away a sticker making fun of a kid who's disabled? There is a big difference.

yes there is. and the answer is, the sticker made fun of an aspect of harvey's disability, ie. his weight problem. had the fact he's overweight been nothing to do with his illness, they would probably have got away with it (despite the obviously hateful notion of it being ok for a massive-circulation magazine to take the piss out of a helpless pre-teen whose mum happens to be famous).

It occurs to me that had a Radio Two producer actually considered pulling the recorded show, they would have met with bewilderment, possibly laughed at, and been made to put it straight back on the schedule because both Ross and Brand were paid huge amounts of cash and there was nothing to put in its place.

Matt DC, Friday, 31 October 2008 14:31 (fifteen years ago) link

As the Allinson and Lester substitutions have proved.

Lesley Douglas is one of the very few people to come out with credit from this whole mess in terms of taking the rap rather than seeing the programme's production team fired.

how come sachs hadnt heard the answerfone message himself by the time the daily mail came calling? i'm sure this has been answered already.

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link

The Mail on Sunday contacted Sachs' agent first.

Do they mean us? They surely do! It's Ray Conniff! (Marcello Carlin), Friday, 31 October 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link

but it had been broadcast by then hadnt it? and so hadnt days passed for him to hear the message? or did the mail hear it before it was brodacast?

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link

AS I understand it a producer called Sachs on his mobile and played a recording of it to him before he heard it on his answerphone. He said there was a lot of noise as he was outside and he couldn't hear it properly but agreed with the producer that it shouldn't be aired and that he would do an interview on the following week's show.

He didn't listen to the show as he wasn't supposed to be on it and therefore didn't know it had been aired.

Cool Hand Tiller (onimo), Friday, 31 October 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm still totally confused about why the 25-year-old producer of the Brand programme still has his job.

Or had his job in the first place? I suppose that depended on what public school he was at in the first place.

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Friday, 31 October 2008 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link

Presumably the producer worked for Russell Brand's production company i.e. Russell Brand was their boss or summat?

"As producer of Brand’s slot, he is thought to earn around £25,000 a year."

BBC spending the big bucks to hire the best talent, i see

Tracer Hand, Friday, 31 October 2008 16:28 (fifteen years ago) link

That's quite high for the BBC.

I presume The Sun paid for this tasteful video as it's much better quality than the ones on their myspace page which I have definitely not seen.

how come sachs hadnt heard the answerfone message himself by the time the daily mail came calling?

That's what I've been wondering. The Mail on Sunday article came eight days after the programme was broadcast.
And Sachs was scheduled to give a phone interview on the show, about his appearance on The Bill. It wasn't a prank call, as such.

DavidM, Friday, 31 October 2008 16:57 (fifteen years ago) link

Well, that's why he didn't hear the message! He wasn't in!

Mark G, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:00 (fifteen years ago) link

Out cavorting with some satanic sluts no doubt

The Daily Star has unearthed some Lesbian schoolgirl porn featuring herself.

How do they manage to put their hand on this stuff so swiftly, I wonders?

Mark G, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:06 (fifteen years ago) link

Googling her name?

Lol @ The Fiver today:


JOKES AT EXPENSE OF OLD MAN = GUARANTEED POPULIST FUN

You absolutely cannot go wrong making cheap and tasteless jokes at the
expense of pensioners - millions enjoy them, they're what makes
Britain great - which probably explains why Madrid-based clown Ramon
Calderon yesterday decided to curry favour by humourously accusing
ageing football manager Sir Alex Ferguson of being "senile"

Yep, that's Ian, I guess also.

what about the have-a-go pensioner who foiled a robbery today? He's a good old fellow

the pinefox, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link

still don't get how come he didnt hear the answerfone message on his own answerfone at any point before the mail called.

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link

AND if he didnt then surely he may have never heard it unless it had been drawn to his attention by the mail. how many 78 year olds can use an answerfone properly?

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:55 (fifteen years ago) link

my dad's only 62, he can't use an answerphone!

Autobot Lover (jel --), Friday, 31 October 2008 17:59 (fifteen years ago) link

Pop quiz! Which tabloid newspaper recently ran a front page story attacking "Singer Kate Perry" for posing with a knive WHILE CHILDREN DIED?
If you answered the same newspaper who has paid Georgina Baillie an undisclosed sum for exclusive video shots of her ass you are right.
So I expect she'll be vilified on the front page tomorrow after posing naked with a knive in a bath of blood with another woman WHILE CHILDREN DIED?
NSFW shot of Andrew Sach's granddaughters tits here.
