Stand by your beds, everyone! Georgina Baillie – you remember, the grand daughter of a certain former cast member of Fawlty Towers – has changed her mind. Having demanded that Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand be fired, she has had a change of heart. "I was really angry when I said I wanted them both to be fired, but I think the suspension was good enough. So I'm feeling a bit gutted really about the whole thing", she tells Channel Five in an exclusive TV interview tonight. "I think it's way out of proportion what's happened, and I don't hate either of them, I don't at all. I think they're really talented comedians and I think a world without Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand would be a very sad, dull place." Not to mention BBC Radio 2. Monkey has to wonder what Ms Baillie will make of Five's promotion of her volte-face. In several newspapers the broadcaster's adverts feature the Satanic Slut show girl in a bikini accompanied by the headline: "Now we'll give Georgina the Chance to screw 'em both". Anyway, we're sure Brand would appreciate the actual programme title: "Russell & Ross: What the F*** Was All That About?"
