This was at the heyday of grubby rags invading people’s privacy. How Piers has walked away from this era more or less unscathed is amazing.
I think this every time I see him on TV as well. Simon Cowell helped create a new image for him when Simon put him on those "talent" shows as a judge.
He has expressed not a shred of remorse about the hacking of Millie Dowler's voicemail. That poor family.
I think you reach a point of celebrity where you're so powerful you are untouchable. Jimmy saville....Schofield....they all went unchecked
For anyone wondering, Ian's teammate for this episode was Felix Dexter. RIP

A wonderfully funny man whereas Piers is a woefully inadequate non-person
Morally bankrupt even this far back
Morally bankrupt at school too, one of my old teaching assistants went to school with him.
