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

[HuwEdwardsBottom]

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.

A list celebrity?

I can think of two British comedians who were in moderately successful international movies.

Those movies being Forgetting Sarah Marshall & Peter Rabbit.

What’s everyone else thinking?

You are not managing my expectations here.

Now waiting to be blown out of the water.

Ah ok, they do seem to be veering towards celebrity rather than royalty

This report is bigger than all of them

But what actually could be??

We've had it all the last few years:-
Terrorists hitting the twin towers
A global pandemic
Multiple economic crashes
The planet becoming a hot box of fart
Aliens basically confirmed
Trusted clebs outed as paedos and worse (including members of the Royal family)
PICU nurse murdering multiple newborns

What else is there?

And, more importantly, at this point, will we even care? Or will we say "well, nothing surprises me now" and get on with trying to pay our bills?

I think of A list celebs as movie stars. It's quite a high bar, and presumably British. I don't think RB for example is A list. But they could be massively hyping it up.

It’s not just surgeons who are rapists within the NHS - several cases recently from across the board involved

😂

If it is a Tory politician it would be hard to guess which one.

*I would agree but unusual that The Mirror is saying

"A British celebrity was in crisis mode last night asChannel 4prepared to air a documentary which could end their career."*

I wonder if the choice of 'their' is a clue?

32 pages of pure speculation. Everyone bored tonight? 🥱🤣

C4 have certainly done a good job marketing their programme.

I must say I'm uncomfortable with all the speculation, reminds me of the pre Huw Edwards reveal, how many innocent names were smeared then?

Somebody is sitting in their home tonight absolutely shitting it.

Maybe Boris is an alien

FB … I can only think of Floella Benjamin

If only!

And the lawyers will be rubbing their hands in glee

There's probably loads of British celebrities in crisis mode tonight, wondering if it's their skeletons which have been uncovered.

Would be more likely to be labour .

F. Boyle?

A certain gentleman who goes by they?

'bad behaviour'

For gods sake. Who cares

I agree its got to be something involving the royals or a politician.

the SNP financial crisis?
proper evidence on Andrew?
Meghan and Harry?
Something to do with Diana?

Anything else would be a let down, given all the excitement on here.

There is already tension building on what the 90-minute special is about which will also be covered by the Sunday Times, according to the General Secretary of the Free Speech Union, Toby Young.
Taking to X, what was formerly known as Twitter, he posted: "Rumour has it the Sunday Times is working on a big story this weekend — biggest of the year, supposedly. Due to drop tomorrow at 3pm.

Surely celeb news is a bit lowbrow for Dispatches?

I'd imagine Andrew hasn't done half as much as his elders, but that aside I can't imagine dispatches would break that magnitude of scandal about any living royal.
