Fame For Fred
A couple of weeks ago I was told that our very own Fred MacAulay is to be one of the contestants in this year's editions of Fame Academy. The person who told me this - producer Stephen Hollywood - swore me to secrecy. In fact, he said this secret was so big that having shared it with me he then had no option but to kill me. He reached for a gun. Happily the gun was the kind that fires a little flag with the word 'bang' written on it. Comic Relief, you see.
Anyway, the secret was revealed in the this morning. That was hours before Fred was able to appear on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland to tell his listeners about it. Scooped again!
Then, in true comedy style, Fred had to appear on air live from a toilet somewhere in London. He's been at the official press launch and the toilet was the only place he could find that was quiet enough to make a telephone call.
Splash news, I think they call it.
