Channel Five: thinking Outside the box

The ongoing developments at Channel Five since its takeover by Richard Desmond have generated no shortage of media interest, as you might expect. But hacks who are used to being referred to one of the big City PR firms following a deal of this sort have been referred to Alan Edwards' Outside Organisation, perhaps best known for its work with David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Naomi Campbell and ... Katie Price. Perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised after all. The Outside Organisation also looks after the Who, whose frontman Roger Daltrey plays with charity band the RD Crusaders, featuring on drums ... Richard Desmond.
