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.

Obviously he's been dead a few years now but Sean Hughes apparently used to trawl Myspace for young female fans, message them and then try and meet up with them which is pretty grim.

I can't think of a single comedian that this would even surprise me about, though I'd be disappointed if it was someone I liked. Many are just borderline sociopaths. Many just plain misogynists. I really hate JC and FB, nothing they did would remotely shock me. They come across as very twisted, cold, horrible men.

Completely off topic but I work in the rail industry and we need HS2 badly. The project execution has been a disaster, but the justification for it is very sound.

Slight diversion and totally of topic but whilst I agree that improvements to the railway infrastructure are needed across all of the North of England, HS2 has been a project that has proved eye wateringly expensive, (how that came about is shocking in itself and deserves a Dispatches documentary), is destructive to wildlife and with little or no benefit beyond the original destination, Manchester.

A lot of people with initials RB popping up, don't think it's any of them

Isn't it time someone started Thread 2?

This one is going to run and run until we all get disappointed

@ruffler45 anyone can start a thread. Go ahead and make thread 2 if you wish. No need to wait for someone else to do it.

Maybe it's about Strictly, and KGM has been doing undercover investigative journalism all along!

A 90-minute Dispatches special investigation into #AustinHealeyWuzRobbed! would be the programme I was born to watch. Definitely the Watergate of our times. I hope Krishnan has been sneaking around the filing cabinets at Elstree and secreting recording devices into the communal wigs.

Stravaig · 15/09/2023 18:35

I think of Dispatches as serious journalism, they're not going to do a 90 minute special for sleaze about a comedian or other minor celebrity. Not nearly universal enough.

usernother · 15/09/2023 18:36

I'm rubbish at guessing people's names from initials for some reason. I don't know who they are

Surely they wouldn't do a 90 min Dispatches about Dave Arch ?

Dispatches: How Dave Arch Lied About Reading Music and Has Just Waved His Arms Around for Years, Hoping No-One Will Notice.

It will probably be something boring about someone boring who half the population has never heard of.
Thank god for the pub.

Who is SC? Please, one more clue…..

Think of an Abba Song…

if it’s him it would be weird given that he just played JS. @Wasntmeanttobelikethis please do not ask you JS is.

Just look on Twitter/x his name is trending. You will work it out straight away

Not bothered, just cant believe a thread like this grows so quickly.

Ramalangadingdong · 15/09/2023 18:41

And if it is him I won’t be watching or reading because the press has been out to get him for ages.

WinterDeWinter · 15/09/2023 18:43

I don’t think dispatches would do an individual unless it was CSA. I think they’d only be interested in institutional coverup as others have said. 90
mins is a really long time for a current affairs doc so I wonder if it’s their own cover up and they’re trying to get ahead of it.

Described 'loosely' as a newsreader? I doubt it will be but if its Piers Morgan, the non phone hacker', not me guv, I will smirk.

MadCatLady27 · 15/09/2023 18:48

It's not a development of the Captain Tom money exposure is it? technically it's already broken as there are stories about the daughters luxury items but could it have now been investigated and we have the full story of exactly how much actually went to the NHS?

Much ado about nothing, methinks.
