It gets better.
After yesterday's item on radio criticising TV for taking credit when it's not due, there's been a denial.
"What Stuart actually said was 'I am pleased Little Britain was on BBC Three for a short time on its almost inevitable journey from the comedy goldmine of weekday Radio 4 to prime time BBC One,' says a spokesman.
The whole story is here. What really interests me, though, is the notion that they believe that anyone will accept that the above is anything other than a transparently manufactured quote. Nobody speaks like that. 'What Stuart actually said,' indeed. It could well be that the original report was misrepresented or exaggerated, but please, please, don't insult our intelligence in this way.
