Saville - the truth Posted Mon Jul 17 12:53:31 BST 2000 by dr_hackenbush

OK, the "transcript"'s been on Bubblegun and NTK now. As I predicted, it's going to be an e-mail chain letter that'll be around for years. Can anyone confirm that it does dovetail with the episode it supposedly came from?
More importantly, if it is real, Corpses, why not just put it on the main site, possibly with an accompanying article? This attitude of putting it on a "hidden" (not hidden) part of the site and then removing it is bizarre. Either it happened, or you made it up for your own amusement. If the latter, it would be a good idea to acknowledge the hoax now before it turns up on Dotcomedy. If you're worried about protecting your source, it's too late.

yeah corpses - as you know where it came from you are in a better position than us to make a judgement on if it's real. and if it isnt it was a bit silly publishing it wasnt it?

Surely any day now it will be encountered by someone who saw the original recording - if anyone did see it...

If anyone's interested, the transcript was found because Rob adds things to web pages, and then comments them out when he not ready to publish them properly. I found it ages ago, and vaguely mentioned I had on a thread. Rob replied, but ignored the transcript comment, so he wasn't that bothered about it becoming public knowledge.

I guess either Rob or one of the almost mythical Corpses made the transcript, so they're the people to ask about it being genuine.

Can we have just one thread dealing with this subject, as it's hard to kep up with it all now?

Sorry about starting the new thread, but I wanted to get the Corpses' attention. I would actually like an answer on this one.

On the subject of bootleg recordings of celebrities, I've been hearing for years about a tape with Sue Lawley saying "fuck me till I fart" (sneakily parodied on 'The Day Today' as "fax me till I fart.") Does taped evidence of Ms Lawley saying this exist? I'd certainly like to hear it Real Player'd if someone has a copy.

I have heard of this recording being passed around inside the BBC - it was recorded by a technician in a radio studio when he entered the control room and saw Lawley through the glass window supposedly shagging some bloke. A simple case of pressing record and mixing up the mic on the desk where they were shagging, and yes she did say "Fuck me til I fart". I was under the impression that Victor Lewis Smith had a recording, because I remember reading about it on his website (now defunct) and I'm sure he was even offering it for sale.

On a similar note, the 1979 BBC VT Christmas tape features Sue Lawley walking through a crowded street, and bollocking the producer in a distant OB truck: "Listen, you keep breaking up, I've no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing..." Very entertaining - it's got Frank Bough, Bob Wellings, John Hurt and Terry Wogan saying "Fuck" + "Shit" too, and a Dalek saying "Bollocks" amongst other things!

There are some things I'd rather not know. I'll never think of Sue Lawley in the same way again!

Like the Queen Mother, Sue Lawley has a special role in holding the nation together, and her image should not be tarnished by tapes of her swearing. Keep a lid on it.

Everybody knows that the Q and her kin are lav-gobbed inbreds. "Fahk Orf" is apparently swearing, but I can't work it our myself.

I think that incident may have inspired the Sally and "Viking" incident in Drop the Dead Donkey. You know the one. Any ideas?
