Apology - Melvin Bragg

An article carried in a recent issue of Untitled Document may have implied that South Bank Show presenter Melvyn Bragg carries an electric stun gun with him whilst walking in parks and other public spaces, which he uses to deliver violent and painful shocks to any dogs below two feet in height.

Mr Bragg assures us that this is not the case, and that he has nothing against man’s best friend, no matter how small.

We apologise to Mr Bragg for any distress our story may have caused him or people with dogs who have seen him in parks.

Killer did not play violent videogames

The man who shot seventeen people in a London MacDonalds, killing three and seriously wounding fourteen others, does not spend all his spare time playing violent computer games, police have revealed.

Apology - Craig Charles/Hastings

Last week, Untitled Document alleged that Craig Charles, presenter of Robot Wars and star of cult sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf, will be appearing in panto this Christmas season in Hastings. Following urgent communications from both Mr Charles’ agent and the White Rock Theatre, Hastings, we understand that this is incorrect, and that no approach has been made by either party.

We hereby offer our apologies to Mr Charles for any distress this statement may have caused him, his agent, or the legions of fan-boys who believe that Dave Lister is a real person.

We also apologise to the people of Hastings for getting their hopes up there for a minute.

Liberal Democrats demand equal ridicule in next election

With the election looming large on the horizon, the Liberal Democrats have demanded to be lampooned by the comedy establishment in exactly the same way as the Labour and Tory parties.

Traditionally seen as a poor third in the political race, the Lib Dems believe that the failure of comedians, television and magazine to devote a proportional amount of time to ridiculing their party has contributed to poor election results in the past.

Cannabis likely to remain illegal unless users get shit together

The laws governing use of the recreational drug cannabis are unlikely to be changed unless fans get their shit together and do something about it, a new report reveals.

The report, commissioned by a Commons Select Committee formed to look into a possible reform of what many regard as the draconian extant legislation, examined the activities of pro-legalisation campaigners over the past ten years and found them to be minimal at best.

The woman sitting in seat L2 of the local Odeon cinema on Saturday was a big help to those near her who were having difficulty following the plot, or fully appreciating the film, other patrons reported.

During the one hour forty minute film What Women Want, starring Mel Gibson as an advertising executive who gains the ability to read women’s minds, the woman gave a constant commentary on the on-screen action, and pointed out things that others may well have missed.

Apology - Christopher Timothy

Last November Untitled Document accused Christopher Timothy, star of All Creature Great And Small and recent BBC daytime series Doctors, as well as narrator of popular docusoap Vets In Practice, of heresy. We now realise that these accusations were unfounded, and would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Mr Timothy, and to assure the Catholic Church that there is no evidence whatsoever to support our claims.
