| It's five years since "Sachsgate" but Russell Brand has still got Richard Littlejohn's goat. The comic, author and actor was a guest on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, where he said the "dishonest scandal" was created by "privately owned media with a pre-existing agenda [ie the Daily Mail] to attack the BBC". Littlejohn asked in his Mail column on Tuesday: "Why do the BBC's bosses continue to give houseroom to a preening self-publicist who abused his privileged platform and cost the excellent former controller of Radio 2 her job?". We're guessing he's being rhetorical. | It's five years since "Sachsgate" but Russell Brand has still got Richard Littlejohn's goat.
