Andrew Sachs: A man who in the 1970s portrayed a crude, racist stereotype of a Spanish man on a TV sitcom, who was bullied, tormented and ridiculed by his English employer (slave-master), for comic effect, to the laughter of millions.
Suddenly that Andrew Sachs guy sounds awful...
Just an example concocted by me of how we can alter and manipulate the facts to portray anyone in a bad light. In fact, Sachs has been the most reasonable man in this whole affair. See his interview here, in which he specifically says that he wants no further part in this nonsense, and is quite content with both Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross issuing apologies and leaving it there.
