David Walliams #2

[Fannii Minogue]

It's nothing to do with his narcissistic tendencies (which I don't dispute) but more likely to do with Equity rules; if someone else had already registered the name 'David Williams', then he'd have to choose a different stage name.

How come out of interests?

There’s two famous Brian Coxes, two famous Michelle Williams, two famous Chris Evanses etc. Find it a bit odd that Equity can’t accept that two people may just have the same names. It happens.

Of all the DW things you could be annoyed about right now,this is not it He changed it for equity reasons because there was already an actor with the same name.

Yeah but surely we can all agree it was a tit, attention seeking name to choose. I've always thought that despite being aware of Equity rules, so it's just one more reason to despise the odious creep.

It's only for British actors.

Not sure if this has been mentioned as still going through last few pages but I was watching room on the broom by Julia Donaldson with my daughter yesterday and noticed he's in it. Wonder if they will remove that although maybe less likely as his face isn't really associated with it just his voice.

I can’t stand him, I don’t watch him, walliams, brand, fielding, Lucas, corden or carr. Immediate off or over.

edited to add wallace.

QMLAN to say the last carr is Jimmy

One of the last times I saw Walliams on tv was on This Morning, this year, some months back, flogging his book.

They got past the interview, just. However at the end of the show he had to infiltrate the clothing segment, where he came on in some woman's outfit. What made the producers let him do that is known only to them, but they obviously thought it was funny. It really was not funny, it just went to reaffirm that he was an odd character with dubious comedy values.

Wallliams always had to take it to the next level of weird, tv producers just pandered and indulged him with his odd behaviour, all in the name of being a comic while humiliating those he worked with.

He's roughly the same age as me and would have grown up watching TV comedy where crossdressing was seen as seen as an easy way to get a laugh.

It might have been back in these threads where I read about him and his then partner (possibly Lara Stone) repeatedly trying to get into the loos when flying first-class. The air hostesses were wise to them and headed them off until the pair finally succeeded...

... they both came out in bras and knickers and ran up and down the aisles doing a Benny Hill routine.

Don’t forget the two Ian Watkins… Actually feel sorry for H sometimes having to live with the same name as that monster.

I've always had my antennae up around David Baddiel. What is it with those comedians from that era? As well as the appalling blackface he often did he used to tell 'jokes' like this -

He's another one who was good friends with Brand.

Let's not forget Sali Hughes was in his BBC doc talking about tattle life and calling it extreme cyber harassment

It's crazy how much BBC money has been spent smearing tattle because honest opinions and screenshots is a threat to their "talent".

Sali Hughes has a history of being a right witch herself - far worse than some of the worst posters on tattle. Joked with India Knight about sending round her convicted child sex offender (Cat A) and convicted of assaulting a teenager husband Eric Joyce to tattlers homes. Bulled the old Guardian columnist out of her job with her twitter chums to get her the gig. Bullied Dawn O'Porter and Esther Walker in the "good old days" of twitter, but wiped this years later before totally flouncing from twitter after she defended to the hilt "poor Huw Edwards" who she claimed was a good man and an innocent victim of a smear campaign.

Tattle is pretty light on Sali Hughes considering all she's done. Awful woman. She posted during the media frenzy that Christopher Jefferies clearly had the face of a killer and often mocked Katie Price and Kylie for botox. But when she has similar comments at her she calls it harassment and totally unacceptable. Rules for thee, but not for me.

If someone's got an active tattle thread and they're very vocal about how much they hate tattle there is probably a very good reason.



If Sali Hughes doesn't want people talking about her marriage and sex life then she shouldn't write columns talking of giving her husband a maintenance bag. But she has the power of the BBC and Guardian behind her to blame tattle for her digital footprint.

Kiwi here following this from the southern hemisphere. . Don't know why but Harry Hill gives me the absolute ick. Get such bad vibes off him

Sali Hughe's husband Dan Maier is a long time collaborator with Harry Hill and a chief writer for over a decade on his show. Marina Hyde and Richard Osman have praised him on their podcast, and their latest podcast is going down like a bag of cold sick with gaslighting subscribers about Russell Brand. Richard Osman previously defended Sali Hughes as a lovely person when she's attacked tattle. Richard Osman was a chief exec at the company that made Russell Brand famous but now claims Brand wasn't really part of the entertainment industry and wasn't on any big shows.

These people are all so connected. And so untrustworthy.
