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.

Doesn't everyone know RB behaved like a real shit to women? That's not going to be a Dispatches doc is it?? He's not worthy.

RB - the RB who has a parenting podcast?

When the mark Williams story was mentioned a few months back, it made me think of DJ at the time. Heard some strange things about him over the years.

Same.

Iwasafool · 15/09/2023 17:41

I just looked up RB and the parenting thing, I dont even know who he is. Showing my age?

This code-breaking is harder than a sudoku.

Yeah. The one who used to be married to a famous American hot and cold singer.

I’m now desperate to know what the royal scandal mentioned earlier is?

There are so many rumours it doesn't bare thinking about. In fairness, if someone is going to be targeted it's them, but still.

Not schofe again please

My money is on this.

squareyedannie · 15/09/2023 17:44

What's the source of this leak?
Sorry, but my meno brain can't find any info whatsoever.

LovingMyLiver · 15/09/2023 17:45

All these initials are making my brain explode.

I think it's something to do with ZXYYBVC

Catsafterme · 15/09/2023 17:45

Main ones speculated on X seem to be David Walliams and DJ. Who knows, though.

borninthe80esss · 15/09/2023 17:45

That Mark Williams story did say it will become public once the person dies, so maybe MP?

Lolasgame · 15/09/2023 17:45

Russel Brand ?

Oh god. I’m going to have to watch Dispatches now just to see if the comedian that gives me the utter creeps is involved (think along the lines of jimmy saville).

I wondered about Schofe as there seemed to be references to something coming out in July that didn't end up being the case.

But some of his story with the runner is already public knowledge so don't think it would be as big a story as this one implies.

It’s a different RB that’s being referred to, it seems! RB who was married to Orlando Bloom’s wife.

I wondered if it was Rob Beckett who does Parenting Hell - it seems he’s in the clear which is nice as he seems a nice chap.

FuckingHellAdele · 15/09/2023 17:47

Disclaimer- I personally am casting NO aspersions on any of the below, but for the purposes of the thread and all the sodding posts with initials only ...

Russell Brand
Steve Coogan
David Jason
David Walliams
Stephen J Amos
Rob Beckett

Sugarfish · 15/09/2023 17:47

I think a lot of people are just hoping it’s David Walliams

I've been quite enjoying the mental exercise of working out the clues (although not always liking who it is) but I have to confess ZXYYBVC has got me stumped.

StoatofDisarray · 15/09/2023 17:50

Is it that middle class twat who got famous imitating a working class bloke from Peckham?

madamreign · 15/09/2023 17:50

Why would dispatches do a 90 min doc on a pervy comedian?

MermaidEyes · 15/09/2023 17:50

There's always been strange rumours surrounding DJ. He was known to be friends with two men who used his house to rape a young boy. He was also apparently a bit of a lech on the set of OFAH.

Has anyone else lost the ability to edit posts?
