Bagpuss now prefers to self-identify as a dog. Not even the Mice can fix that organ.

I think other posters got it right. We (and all the other social media and gossip platforms) are going to be the subject of the article and the dispatched episode. It will be about the effects of gossip and modern media.

They'd have to have a lot of faith in the innocence of some of the sleazebags mentioned on SM to pull that off.

SatelliteStomper · 15/09/2023 22:03

No way would Dispatches and the Sunday Times be investigating Russell Brand, let alone devoting 90 mins of primetime programming to him.

What would be the story - 'breaking news - man known for years to be loathsome sleazebag predator turns out to be, er, loathsome sleazebag predator'?

DiscoBoots · 15/09/2023 22:03

Just flicked through some of thread 1 and I see I'm not the only one with the Popbitch scoop. Embarrassed.

TedWilson · 15/09/2023 22:03

Back to join. That comedian has given me the creeps for years. However it could be our ex prime minister back to surprise us.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 15/09/2023 22:03

Is it time to start stocking up on loo roll?

It probably is for the celeb who's been named as very concerned at the moment!

I don't think anyone has to be innocent, they just have to show how quickly gossip spreads, blur out the initials and names and photos and there's your news item.

The full puppet cast of Pipkins having a drug fuelled orgy, while Spit the Dog makes a dirty protest, and Orville the Duck loses his innocence to Hartley Hare.

OMG

How could you!

EsmaCannonball · 15/09/2023 22:04

Plus no-one really cares about Russell Brand anymore.

MaudGone · 15/09/2023 22:04

Does the 3pm thing come purely from Toby Young? He's not necessarily the most reliable source...

LondonMummer · 15/09/2023 22:05

I was the first to call it out on the previous thread and this will be my last post on this one. I'm convinced. I believe the OP is associated with Dispatches and has seeded this thread.

This is the story, the speculation, hyperbole, rumours, defamation, witch-hunt...post on here with names at your peril - you're the subject of tomorrow's Dispatches.

TokyoSushi · 15/09/2023 22:05

Checking in to pass the 23 hours we have to wait! 🤣

I'll be disappointed if it's the people mentioned, I'm not sure that warrants a 90 min Dispatches!

trythisforsize · 15/09/2023 22:05

announcing that we're reached the 'tipping point' and worldwide government plans are now purely to attempt reduce the human deaths caused by climate change?

sorry, not fun

HollyGolightly4 · 15/09/2023 22:05

Hmmmm... comedians... something institutional...no clue!

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 15/09/2023 22:05

Bagpuss has run away and joined the Pussycat Dolls Grin

slobro · 15/09/2023 22:05

@MeinKraft I said similar on the other thread (below) but you said it much more succinctly!

but it's a dangerous game as a lot of the speculation about who the programme is about is based on what's already in the public domain. I just think they have to be pretty sure that the celebs people have mentioned on here are squeaky clean if they're going down that route.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 15/09/2023 22:02

Why do people just put intials here?? Surely noone is going to trace your username for libel?!
(from the last thread)

I believe MN has previously been forced to hand people's IP addresses to the police, when they have posted something very contentious that somebody has taken exception to.

Which makes it even more unlike MN to keep both these threads up, unless MN is part of the story.

XL Bully ban?

That we all know about and has nothing to do with comedians or metoo?

Sorry but you've gone too far with Hartley the hare, I will defend my childhood hero to the hilt.
How very dare you.

Show quote history

Hartley was always a bit creepy. Sorry.

00100001 · 15/09/2023 22:06

Hmmm

I agree completely. It's also why MN has gone against type and left both threads running and not banned the OP

Americano75 · 15/09/2023 22:07

@AliciaLime was too late to post this on the other thread. 😆

EsmaCannonball · 15/09/2023 22:04

Its interesting how quickly names are bandied about just because they're not that popular or they're irritating as people

Pure lynch mob mentality

ScottishIceCream · 15/09/2023 22:07

This will be a complete non story to most of us.

The last time we all stayed up till god knows what time to see what the "big" story about to break was, it was so dull I can't even remember.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 15/09/2023 22:07

Very good point.
