Brand: Men didn’t like him, women didn’t like him, so who did?

On this week’s Weekend T, Michael Deacon and Tim Stanley discuss the latest developments in the Russell Brand and David Walliams stories, and question how the BBC and streaming services are handling the allegations. They also look at the Tories edging ahead of Reform in the polls, Prince George’s artistic talents and whether Gordon Ramsay should be taking his shirt off at 60. Plus, how many of the new I’m a Celebrity line-up can Tim name, why 3,000 tarantulas were smuggled through an airport in socks, and what they make of this year’s Christmas adverts.
