Sue Lawley is Sally Smedley of Globelink - it's twoo! it is! so there!
Chaz York
(24 tracks) on Steve Wright's R2 show this arvo. He obviously linked
her to DID (the CD is titled '24 classics in Paradise' or very similar)
and she performed like a trained seal - and SW kept the questions within
her remit.
When asked about the occasional guest / format anomalies of DID she
knocked Otto Preminger for refusing to say what book he wanted, and
regarding Elizabeth Swarchkopf(sp?) she said that 'she (ES) must have
misunderstood the format, poor dear'! (choosing all eight records from
her own recorded repertoire). Sue never thought to add to her statements
of 'in-depth research and trying to get from the person what we would
all like to know' the simple fact that she could have prevented the ES
fiasco if she had been on the ball. I thought she had plumbed the
depths of poor broadcasting in DID but it seems that there may be more
to come.
She even had the gall to allude to the fact that at heart she is a
journo and 'my journalistic skills' is what makes DID interviews so
good! Poor old Roy - he never deserved this 'air head' as a millennium
replacement.
I now know who Sally Smedley (the Globelink presenter from Drop the Dead
Donkey) was modelled on - Sue Lawley - without a doubt.

Well I can better that ...
My uncle who is a freelance TV director, worked for a few months last
year, for Ginger productions (Chris Evans TV production company).
It was during that time, that Mr Evans was caught by the close circuit TV
system that exists at the riverside studios masturbating whilst in his
dressing room.
Somewhat inevitably, tapes of this incident qucikly circulated around the
Ginger production offices and into the hands of my uncle.

When I heard that one it was sound recording at Broadcasting House. ;-)

monitored by an engineer at any time it's switched on. She had a dressing
room encounter with a sound man and the whole thing was taped. It's well
known throughout the industry so much so that not only was it the basis of
thjat DTDD episode but also referenced in The Day Today - remember the sting
"Fact me 'Til I Fart'? A paraphrasing of the Great Lawley herself, if
rumours are to be believed.
And the Chris Evans thing. The version I know is that he was caught as part
of a Noel Edmonds stunt for a celeb version of NTV. The hidden cameras were
in his house but he wasn't watching The Bearded Tosser's programme but in
fact wanking to Baywatch on the other side. Rumour compounded a few weeks
later when his band of sycpohants presented him with a Baywatch video for
Christmas on TFI. He seemed to know the reference at the time .....
AND while we're on the subject - (I hope no showbiz lawyers read this NG)
there is apparently another Edmonds 'wanking' incident involving secret
cameras for a 'Gotcha' and Carol Smillie. She was allegedly left alone in a
dressing room to try on all sorts of ridiculous costumes for a fake TV shoot
and decided to have a quick lady-shuffle. The horrified director had to run
down and tell her what was going on. There was apparently one tape. The
director, what a gent, gave it to Ms. Smillie there and then.
There. I'm off to hire a good libel lawyer.

I have asked him as it happens ... My problem is that I have no idea how
one goes about converting a film recorded on VHS to either a quicktime
movie or an MPEG.

I personally have a 1/25th share in the ownership of a web server. If I
were to make a copy of this film available on the web, I would need to get
agreement with the other 24 owners to install a movie server (eg
realnetworks movie server). This is easier said than done.
Not only this, I need to know how to convert a VHS film to either an MPEG,
.wav, or quicktime movie. Does anyone know this is done?

Ah, that would depend on what the Mars bar myth is and whether the people

I've heard this said of Sarah Greene and a number of other women in the
media. As no real evidence has yet appeared, I think this story must be an
urban legend.
By the way, did anyone catch the latest Lawley-ism on 7 November? When
interviewing Willard White, something to the effect that "Oh come on, I can't
believe there's racism in _The World of Opera_". Why not? Because it's
"Culture"?

I had a chuckle at some of the posts in this thread and a bizarre

Sue Lawley, if I remember correctly, was the news bint who cut dead
the S.African ambassador after 2 minutes, when his government had
complained that they had not been allowed to put their point of view on
the BBC, following 194 hours of pro-Mandella propaganda, and had
been promised a miserable 4 minutes in which to counter.
Her arrogance and rudeness to the Ambassador, and subversion of
balanced reporting and of freedom of speech, was so blatant that she
should have been sacked on the spot, if only for bringing the BBC into
gross disrepute.
The BBC's "feel-good schoolgirl politics" over S.Africa probably cost
the lives of 10's thousands of blacks, some of them killed by Mandella's
butchers with car tyers burning around their neaks. Had this matter
been left to be handled by mature diplomats, without the hysterical TV
and media hype, the same result could have been achieved without the
deaths of so many innocent blacks.
If she is the reporter in question (and I think she was) that she is still
broadcasting on the BBC, is a bloody disgrace.

I know not whether shagging a soundman on mic' is a sackable offense,
but surely not having a TV license cannot be. If you have no TV, you
need not have a TV license, and I don't believe that even J. Burt
