how come sachs hadnt heard the answerfone message himself by the time the daily mail came calling? i'm sure this has been answered already.

The Mail on Sunday contacted Sachs' agent first.

but it had been broadcast by then hadnt it? and so hadnt days passed for him to hear the message? or did the mail hear it before it was brodacast?

AS I understand it a producer called Sachs on his mobile and played a recording of it to him before he heard it on his answerphone. He said there was a lot of noise as he was outside and he couldn't hear it properly but agreed with the producer that it shouldn't be aired and that he would do an interview on the following week's show.
He didn't listen to the show as he wasn't supposed to be on it and therefore didn't know it had been aired.

I'm still totally confused about why the 25-year-old producer of the Brand programme still has his job.
Or had his job in the first place? I suppose that depended on what public school he was at in the first place.

Presumably the producer worked for Russell Brand's production company i.e. Russell Brand was their boss or summat?

"As producer of Brand’s slot, he is thought to earn around £25,000 a year."

I presume The Sun paid for this tasteful video as it's much better quality than the ones on their myspace page which I have definitely not seen.

That's what I've been wondering. The Mail on Sunday article came eight days after the programme was broadcast. And Sachs was scheduled to give a phone interview on the show, about his appearance on The Bill. It wasn't a prank call, as such.
― DavidM, Friday, 31 October 2008 16:57 (sixteen years ago)
Well, that's why he didn't hear the message! He wasn't in!

JOKES AT EXPENSE OF OLD MAN = GUARANTEED POPULIST FUN
You absolutely cannot go wrong making cheap and tasteless jokes at theexpense of pensioners - millions enjoy them, they're what makesBritain great - which probably explains why Madrid-based clown RamonCalderon yesterday decided to curry favour by humourously accusingageing football manager Sir Alex Ferguson of being "senile"

still don't get how come he didnt hear the answerfone message on his own answerfone at any point before the mail called.
― piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:54 (sixteen years ago)
AND if he didnt then surely he may have never heard it unless it had been drawn to his attention by the mail. how many 78 year olds can use an answerfone properly?
― piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:55 (sixteen years ago)
my dad's only 62, he can't use an answerphone!

Pop quiz! Which tabloid newspaper recently ran a front page story attacking "Singer Kate Perry" for posing with a knive WHILE CHILDREN DIED?If you answered the same newspaper who has paid Georgina Baillie an undisclosed sum for exclusive video shots of her ass you are right.So I expect she'll be vilified on the front page tomorrow after posing naked with a knive in a bath of blood with another woman WHILE CHILDREN DIED?NSFW shot of Andrew Sach's granddaughters tits here.

The most shocking thing about that photo is the fakeness of the blood. Tsk, tsk, no attention to detail...

Ned, is your argument that because Georgina Baillie takes her clothes off for a living, she is somehow less worthy of sympathy in this instance than she would be if she were, say, a nun?
― Carrie Bradshaw Layfield (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Friday, 31 October 2008 20:18 (sixteen years ago)
Or, to put it another way, would you say that because of her attire she was asking for this?
HIGNFY basically shite. Hislop looked disdainful, while no-one else appeared to share his indignation. Tom Baker possibly worst host since Brian Blessed.

everything about this story has screamed 'typical britain' but nothing more so than the semi-detatched-suburban plum coloured bathroom carpet in that photo. even though it's a shot of 2 naked blood-soaked goths in a bath with a knife you can't shake the feeling that somewhere in that house BULLSEYE is probably on.
