Monty Python Meets John Waters

"From time to time, BBC presenters and staff do receive malicious and nuisance mail, although we do try to intercept it wherever possible," said a statement released by the UK television corporation regarding a few pieces of unpleasant correspondence received recently by some of its stars. Like a scene out of Pink Flamingos, Adrian Chiles, host of the BBC football show Match of the Day, opened eight "disgusting" letters that contained used toilet paper. "The smell is not something you want first thing in the morning," he said. Or at any other time of day, we should hope. "We try to avoid commenting on individual cases because, very often, those sending such mail gain pleasure from publicity," said the statement, politely. "When we can identify the sender of such materials, they can expect a visit from the police." And the Filthiest People on Earth are probably putting the kettle on now. (Mirror)
