However this would have been essentially private if some editor or producer hadn't decided to leave it in the show. And largely inoffensive if the Mail hadn't run the story a week later.<BR/><BR/>The show is recorded to give the performers and the public some protection from mistakes made as risks are taken. Editorial failure.<BR/><BR/>No-one has AFAIK ever got an ASBO for an incident of leaving horrid answer phone messages though Sachs would have a case for harrassment.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679067503215414300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-68615166610825255752008-10-30T08:20:00.000+00:002008-10-30T08:20:00.000+00:00and by the Daily Mail if it sells papers.and by th...and by the Daily Mail if it sells papers.<BR/><BR/>and by the Conservative party if there is a witch hunt on these crude rotters who have never discussed party funding with Russian oligarchs on yachts in the Med.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-34466451047914847062008-10-29T21:11:00.000+00:002008-10-29T21:11:00.000+00:00if 2 benchill chavs had made obscene phone calls t...if 2 benchill chavs had made obscene phone calls they would have got ASBOs.<BR/>As Brand and Ross are millionaire nulabour luvvies,they will be excused and hero worshipped in the wine bars of ChorltonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-63643625576210192922008-10-29T17:07:00.000+00:002008-10-29T17:07:00.000+00:00Don Estelle was a friend of Cyril's too- was it th...Don Estelle was a friend of Cyril's too- was it the short pants?.<BR/>(did he help get him into the town flats? or did Cyril just have a simple arrangement with the controversial planning permission/compulsory purchase and land clearance for these flats?)<BR/><BR/>Don had a number 1 hit with the song "Whispering Grass".<BR/><BR/>Quite apt for the info leaking out of Rochdale Fib Dem HQ at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Countdown has commenced.<BR/><BR/>(perhaps Carol Vorderman can help with figuring the Liberal party donations and accounts out).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-39663598222892498912008-10-29T15:54:00.000+00:002008-10-29T15:54:00.000+00:00They can't get "sacked", as they aren't employed b...They can't get "sacked", as they aren't employed by the BBC, as far as I can tell, but by Brand's own independent production company, who is contracted with making his programme. So Brand might get some (a lot of) money for "breach of contract" (i.e. terminating it), but the BBC might justify this by using some get-out clause, if there is one, in the contract itself (though if the BBC are as clever/careful at formulating contracts with independent producers as they are at damage limitation, I wouldn't bet on it).Karl-Marx-Straßehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10156583472078730461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-69676721312055996562008-10-29T14:53:00.000+00:002008-10-29T14:53:00.000+00:00If they were to be sacked, would they have cause f...If they were to be sacked, would they have cause for compensation payments, I wonder?
