Talking of Jo Brand and offending people, reminded me of the time she silenced the puppet, Basil Brush. They were both on the same football comedy programme and Basil had been trying to score cheap sexist points off Jo. She stunned the presenters, had the audience in stitches and silenced the terrible Brush, when she said: " Any more out of you and I'll stick you up my fanny." There was no "Boom Boom" from Basil.
