Sometimes it’s all too easy to think that Chris Morris has somehow crept into the news team at BBC HQ and is craftily inserting satirical news articles into our unsuspecting eyeholes.
Case in point, the opening paragraph of this article on Patsy Kensit investigating her family tree for a BBC prog. Imagine this being read by Morris:
Actress Patsy Kensit has said she was so upset to find her grandfather was a criminal on TV show Who Do You Think You Are? she stopped washing her hair.
Send doctors immediately, world-reknowned actress Patsy Kensit has stopped washing her hair.
Please try to remain calm as we all pray this hellish situation resolved itself. Donations of shampoo, conditioner and frizz-eaze are being accepted at all Red Cross outlets.
