  • Angus was the first television presenter in the history of the BBC to be publicly caught and humiliated for not taking drugs. In the biblical text News of the World's hard hitting undercover campaign of 2002, two navvies pretending to be reporters dressed as sheikhs caught Angus on tape boasting about how faithful he was to his wife (even though he was single at the time). Because family standards and morals country have gone to the dogs, not like it was in my day, that slip could probably have been covered up by Spin Doctors if a prostitute could be found fast enough for him. Unfortunately, in what Angus later described as "a moment of madness" Angus was then caught on camera with absolutely no cocaine also visible in the picture. Although some of Angus' celebrity friends such as John Lennon fought to clear his name, the ears of the public were closed, and Angus' career in gangster rap was over. A military coup occurred a week later on The People's Republic of HIGNFY in which Gen. Hislop and Maj. Merton took over the government and killed Deayton using a T-shirt and a copy of The Screws of the World (of which Gen. Hislop is a great fan, hence his magazine's nick name: The Screws of the World). Deayton was also proved, beyond all reasonable doubt, to be bonkers in the nut. When asked, Deayton attributed his madness to the culture that had migrated into his ears. The culture habitat amongst his 'aural' hair.
