There was another twist mentioned during a late radio talk programme I was listening to on Thursday, I've actually forgotten the chaps name
, but he was 'in the know' ( by that I mean he wasn't surmising). Apparently following the calls to Mr.Sachs, the same one you are talking about Kitz, NOTHING was mentioned again until SIX DAYS later when he mentioned it to his Agent and this was as a result of a Daily Mail reporter getting involved. He continued to say that he thought something very fishy has gone on.
Now methinks, could there be someone at the BBC who, doesn't like Brand, Ross or both and might also have a journalist friend ? Lesley Douglas resigned after a 23 year, other wise blemish free, career even though she hadn't heard the item prior to airing. Wogan might not be far off when he calls it a "sacrifice" !!
I know this doesn't alter the fact that the call was made in the first place.
I'm afraid Tom Baker ruined HIGNFY (for me) last night .... Ian Hislop didn't look too impressed either
