Apparently the biggest news story of the year is going to break over the weekend

It’s all overTwitter, or X as it’s now called. One of the Sunday papers is working on a massive story and all staff weekend leave has been cancelled. Channel 4 is showing an episode of ‘Dispatches’ tomorrow night at 9pm but haven’t said what it’s about and lots of people are putting two and two together and saying it’s in conjunction with the following days papers.

PB says "one of the weekend papers is braced to drop an explosive story we hear will open up a whole new front on #MeToo."

It may yet be spiked though.

I do hope it doesn't involve either Dame Judi or Bagpuss.

Or worse, Dame Judi with Bagpuss.

Bigger than the Huy Edwards story? Strange how that has entirely disappeared by now, almost like it never happened.

megletthesecond · 15/09/2023 13:52

Popbitch mentioned it.
I bet its either blocked by lawyers or a damp squib.

All I can see is Seal's world tour being cancelled. Can't be that surely!

defi · 15/09/2023 14:02

Maybe there's another itv scandal?

Lsquiggles · 15/09/2023 14:03

Not schofe again please

Oh god , I’ve been found out haven’t I?!

Well apparently his bottom started this thread.

i’m assuming the “fund a mentalism” is the clue
which makes me think of one ex comedian

Who is PopBitch??

My thoughts exactly.

Dame Judi! We are honoured. Now, just between you, me and the rest of MN, please, is it true that Bagpuss would do anything for dreamies?

Clue please?

Really? Almost 3000 people have just been killed in Morocco, and 11000 confirmed - but possibly up to 30000 - dead in Libya following catastrophic events; as well as all sorts of other things happening in the world, and a breakfast TV presenter's alleged naughtiness is the news story of the year?

I despair of people's priorities these days.

Huw Edwards allegedly had a mental health crisis after his name (and the photo of his arse) was leaked online and he ended up as in patient at a hospital. That’s why the story vanished.

A bit of escapism from all the depressing news maybe?

MidgesGirdle · 15/09/2023 14:09

My guess is aliens.

DynamicK · 15/09/2023 14:10

I thought it was going be to be about an imminent alien invasion [disappointed]

Show quote history

Oh, for sure. I did mean to put a smiley face at the end. We could all do with a good distraction!

Despair all you want.

I like salacious celeb gossip. 😬

Stillwaitingfor · 15/09/2023 14:11

I wonder what big news this small country could have

TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth · 15/09/2023 14:11

Me too, honestly @BirdiePlantaganet !

RunningFromInsanity · 15/09/2023 14:11

I hope it’s aliens.

BlondeFool · 15/09/2023 14:11

I always knew Bagpuss was a wrong 'un

EasternStandard · 15/09/2023 14:12

I’m not sure I can handle pre-news aa an addition to news
