In the Guardian, apropos the Attorney General's intervention:
Any member of the public is able to complain about sentences handed down in England and Wales using the unduly lenient scheme.
I genuinely don't know, but I presume there's also an 'unduly severe scheme'?
DLT sentence "not unduly lenient"

Every report I have read suggests that Mrs Merton was a hugely successful irreverent comedy show when DLT went on it... It was not, the first series didn't begin until three weeks after DLT recorded his interview on what looks chronologically to be the series debut. Someone uploaded the show to YouTube the day after the sentencing. It was not shown in Court. Has anyone reading this viewed the show. It seems to me highly relevant - DLT seems to be looking around as if to say 'who booked me onto this', he appears to be getting fed up, as if he's been set up. No one seems to have checked the chronology of events, but the Mrs Merton Show had yet to air when he recorded his piece, and if someone can locate the BBC promo for the show I would guess DLT will be the star attraction to the first of the series. The other guests on the first show included Madame Sin brothel lady Cynthia Payne, a wine expert and a UFO spotter, along with apparent plants in the audience. The point is that the crime took place so long ago no one can clearly remember what happened... Including the victim who has said the offence may have been an accident... This case was brought about by a third party complainant, the show's producer, who's barrister wife happened to at the time be investigating the BBC's culture... To lose your entire life's work as DLT has done on a case that appears on the face of it to be barely hanging together with so little relevant information of that day having been mentioned... Did the assault happen before or after his interview? Was there any other conversation, any goading from the victim researcher over the ridiculing DLT had just endured or was about to endure? DLT says the incident never happened. I've read about this type of justice happening in Nazi Germany... |

So what? It was recorded. What point are you trying to make?? |

Mrs Merton series didn't air until 10 Feb 1995.... The DLT offence took place on 17 Jan 1995.... Three Nuns were abused on the same show... Although Merton had done bit parts, it seems unlikely any guests knew the ribbing they were about to receive, DLT took the brunt of it... 'When you're alone on your farm with your Swedish wife, what do you get up to...?'... Offensive isn't it? DLT appears to mist over for a few seconds... Rings a bell that doesn't it? I'm pretty certain most people would find it hard to have a sexual thrill when anger appears. |

Maybe those of you in showbiz back then or working in TV can shine a light on the kind of environment in which DLT is supposed to have assaulted this coy young researcher?
I don't know about working there, but I do remember an edition of the Mrs Merton Show focused around her getting the audience of pensioners to shout PENIS in unison. |
