It's been in the schedule all week on the EPG.  Not sure if it was in the printed guides too.

I'd have thought Dispatches though was above celebrity exposes.

It looks like it’s an expose of the comedy world. Apparently it’s racist, homophobic and full of sexual predators. Shock! If only there’d been clues.

A more shocking exposé would be if it wasn’t full of that…

They had another similarly non-descript Dispatches scheduled a few weeks ago, which was ultimately replaced by an episode of First Dates.

Might be the same one that got delayed for legal reasons or scheduling reasons. There is talk it’s linked to rumours of a big story in the Sunday Times so they could have delayed it as well for a reason if it is linked.

Plenty of comedians are openly like that, so hardly need exposing :p

I thought it was obvious my shock wasn't at all genuine but apparantly not.

Not much details other speculation than comedians but The Mirror thinks a major celebrity is about to be exposed for some things they have been doing. We still don't know as of tonight what the contents of the show will be tomorrow so it must be something massive if Channel 4 are refusing to say what it is.

And as we have made clear in repeated threads, this forum is not the place for speculation on personalities and constant links to tabloid gossip articles. The particular thread topic here is about channel 4's commissioning woes, so can we get back to that?

Somebody has been making their cups of tea and adding the milk before/after when it should be after/before? That's enough to generate controversy on its own in this country
