Anybody remember the Brits back in the day - Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood?

Are there even more serious film bits this year??

Seems so. That one about the drunks beating their kid was a bit harsh like. Why don't they go in and help em instead of talking to them on the phone.

That Little Britain sketch was absolutely awful.

They said that the girl kept saying she would "think about" giving them her name and address.

Pft rubbish they can trace calls. Just go and sort it out, she's shitting bricks no wonder she won't give out address.

Aside from that going against the ethics of the charity, I expect they've got systems in place to block all records of the calls. Anyone know if they appear on phone bills?

Isn't the point to help people?

They don't.

They can't just go grabbing kids left right and centre though.
They could be prank calling for starters.

Unimpressed Not saying that. Just saying sometimes actions need to be taken.

But you can't force help upon them. If the kid's not mentally/emotionally ready to give even her name (and over the phone), then she's extremely unlikely to talk to anyone face-to-face, or to give police, carers, etc, whatever information they may need.

Dawn French looks like my mum in this sketch!
