I think the people involved went to the press, to talk of their historic attempted coup, rather than it suddenly being uncovered by hacks.

I'll get you, Biddy Baxter!!!!

Re: The Tory "dirty tricks brigade" and the media
 

Bet you don't.

I'll have you off the set before the credits roll.

I'll find out if you're up the duff, took part in a soft-core movie, or snorted anything stronger than Vicks nasal spray, and you'll be out!


:D

Re: The Tory "dirty tricks brigade" and the media
 

It was actually the other way around. There was a lengthy documentary made for a DVD release of 1990s Doctor Who that would have been and it cropped up. Someone somewhere picked it up and ran with it as a hidden BBC scandal of the day and thus something which has been common 'knowledge' for years is now a news story.

All these people have now moved on and it was only ever a perceived undertone anyway. The saddest irony of all is that Sylvester McCoy has got more news exposure as the Doctor now than he ever did at the time.

I'm sure if we all looked hard enough we could see spurious bias in lots of other programmes we all grew up with. Lenny Henry, who was blatantly open about the government is his programmes, hasn't had a look in.

I had a beer once.

I'll take your geeky word on the ins and outs.

I stopped watching it when that nice posh Dr., Jon Pertwee, morphed into a hippy.

We can't have alcoholics on BBC children's television.

Empty your locker, leave you key for the Blue Peter garden, and get out.

I hear they're looking for late night bingo callers on Channel 5.

Toodle pip.

:D

Re: The Tory "dirty tricks brigade" and the media
 

I just happen to know from a friend of a friend. Most nights you'll find me listening to Counterpoint and The News Quiz on Radio 4.

And that 'hippy' went on to become the dulcit-toned voice of those wonderful 'Ford's of Winsford' adverts on the wireless. There was some one-trick pony of a sketch show revolving around 'being a lady' but you wouldn't catch the nice people of Rishton watching that nonsense....

It'd be difficult, with them being on set as extras, when they weren't filming in Royston Vasey.

I'd be more concerned about this:

Re: The Tory "dirty tricks brigade" and the media
 

Why do you have to rely on a friend of a friend of yours to find out what you have been up to?

Unless that beer is still having an effect? It must be strong stuff can you let us know where you got it?

Re: The Tory "dirty tricks brigade" and the media
 

You lot can think yourself lucky that you only watched this on TV; I have to live with it. This is serious stuff, unlike the laugh-a-minute as Jones and Britcliffe handbag each other.
