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.

I wonder what the government needs us all distracted from?

unless the Aussie “entertainer” who assaulted a famous female channel 4 presented is finally getting his call out?

Nevermind, just saw that he died in May and his pedo crimes were already known. Prick.

Kristen Guru Murphy has just retweeted about the special dispatches programme. Hmmm.

Twitter seems to think it's political, or a comedian, so that's quite a spectrum!

Well both of them are jokers, so...

CheshireCat1 · 15/09/2023 14:58

Perhaps it’s an about the iPhone 12 being banned in France.

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

Yup - it's the way it always goes

TokyoSushi · 15/09/2023 14:58

The only thing I have to add to the mix is that Beth Rigby has been missing off Sky News since the summer. She's their Political Editor and has been nowhere to be seen since the summer. Now she doesn't work for The Times, or Channel 4, but still...

Could be Eddie Izzard, or Sheila, or whoever the hell he/she is at this particular moment in time. That then opens up a whole world of possibilities. Of who he/she could have harassed.

Well there is definitely a 90 minute Despatches scheduled for tomorrow. I reckon it is more than a tawdry celeb scandal. Maybe it is about sexual harassment in Parliament?

FuckingHellAdele · 15/09/2023 14:59

Be nice if it was something about that twat Michelle Mone

Figgygal · 15/09/2023 15:00

I'll believe it when I see it
Biggest news of 2023 turning into some sex scandal would be pretty shameful when the world is burning around us and should be what we focused on more

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 15/09/2023 13:59

Maybe Katherine Ryan has finally spilled. She's often talked about a comedian in the circuit and #MeToo

Haven’t read past this post so apologies if someone else has said, but didn’t she hint strongly at a person who was married for a spell to a pop star whose name rhymes with Maty Sherry?

Vermin · 15/09/2023 14:40

Yeah I think Katy Perry and jemima goldsmith are going to be the only two people surprised by this story

Russel Brand?

CheshireCat1 · 15/09/2023 15:02

C4 is making a drama about an ex Celeb presenter from This Morning, it’s called “Runner”

viviscool · 15/09/2023 15:03

a 90 min programme on a Saturday evening is very significant. I'm thinking Royal...

placemats · 15/09/2023 15:04

Some female MPs are not wearing a bra when attending Parliament. It's disgusting - have these women no standards on how to conduct themselves in public? It needs an hour and a half of detailed discussion on a major prize winning documentary series. Guarantee it!

fiddlesticksandotherwords · 15/09/2023 15:04

Dispatches doesn't usually do celeb stuff, so I don't think it could be anything like that, unless it's gobsmackingly awful.

Maybe they've discovered that half the hospitals in the country are stuffed with RAAC concrete and will have to be closed.

66rabbits · 15/09/2023 15:05

Isn't it the pervy rapist surgeons?

ApolloandDaphne · 15/09/2023 15:05

Interesting!

MatthewsMumFromTikTok · 15/09/2023 15:05

I don't want this to be a let down!!

But it will be if it's about the royals, politicians, tv presenters or footaballers and wags!!! Or a new strain of COVID!

Biggest news story of the year.......must be the Alien thing.

MatthewsMumFromTikTok · 15/09/2023 15:06

Maybe to do with Air Travel?

66rabbits · 15/09/2023 15:05

Isn't it the pervy rapist surgeons?

The Times already ran that story so it's unlikely it's that.

Ihateboris · 15/09/2023 15:06

IAmNoLady · 15/09/2023 14:44

I would love it to be about Boris Johnson....I can't stand him.

It might get a damp squid or pulled.

Same here...see username 😃

Monkeybutt1 · 15/09/2023 15:07

Could the dispatches programme be about XL Bully dogs being banned 🤔

Justletpeopleenjoythings · 15/09/2023 15:07

I feel like if Dispatches is involved it's probably more hard hitting than celebrity nonsense.
