I think if I was being monitored, I'd have already been arrested for being the saddest person alive.

Aw.
I reckon you'd have a good few challengers here. Including me.
I take your sad-ness, and I raise you 'Hornby Magazine'.

Okay.... But do you have a lifesize cardboard Dr Who standing next to your bed?
Hmm?
No, I can't say I do...
But do you fear contact with the outside world and much prefer to stay in your cave/den/bedroom/evil-empire-control-room?

As I said before, having seen and loving the first series, I find it entirely believable. Seems to be a logical follow-through from some of the characters who had already appeared.
My opinion is that he wanted to look at the photos for kicks but constructed a believable lie to explain it. Well, actually I think he may have waited until just such a believable opportunity arose before he thought he could get away with looking at the stuff. He will be lying to himself as much as anyone else, if what I summise is correct.
Even writing the piece and having been abused, I still don't see why anyone would want to look at that sort of material unless a sexual drive were in effect holding them to ransom.
But then, as I say, the apparent ease of access to this sort of material can't help.

I had the complete Star Trek The Next Generation DVDs once before I had to sell them on Ebay to raise cash. By all known test that makes me a geek. However, I converted my girlfriend into liking the show. She hates herself now. She'll lie in bed beating her head against the wall.

Well, yeah actually. Sometimes.

I dunno, maybe. I reckon it's a bit of everything really, although more curiosity than "drive", as you put it. I know I've done stuff, looked at stuff, etc, which I knew I'd find unappealing or disgusting, purely out of some kind of morbid curiousity.
Not necessarily porn, I might add. And certainly not paedophilic porn. Ew.

Good on you, m'son!

Yeah, the reason I've only got one bollock is because I cut it off and put it in the pickle jar just to see the look on my partner's face when she made herself a ploughman's.

Hmm. I still think I'm sadder. For many, many reasons.
(Well, it's a cave of sorts. I have rope lights though. Don't think you find those in an average cave.)
Why does anyone go to rotten.com unless it's through sheer sick curiosity.

Well, ok, not really. You could be right.

Quote: zooo @ January 17, 2008, 1:12 PMYes, he still stands by the fact it was originally for Help research.
Wow - he's still spinning that line? It's the most blatent lie I've heard.
a) Paul Whitehouse knew absolutely nothing about this supposed character - and it was his show! i.e. The character was clearly only made up by Langham after he was caught.
b) Help wasn't supposed to be a documentary or anything like that - it was a comedy show - I'm sure one could come up with a paedophile character without the need for that level of 'research'!

I would refer Mark back to his previous statement on the thread...
Quote: Mark @ January 15, 2008, 4:07 PMAnyway we ought not get into discussions like that - this is supposed to be a light-hearted comedy website, but yeah, if you watch it let us know your thoughts on the show (but let's avoid the guilty/not guilty talk - that's past now).
Still, I suppose nobody else took any notice of that suggestion either.
