Randy Andy… The puppet show called him… In the Eighties… A naked doll… With champagne glass… Strategically placed… So how much did they know?… I don’t know where this idea… Of a Party Prince… Comes from… Said Andy… I have never… Never been one for parties… I don’t even drink… Hmmm… At the time… This translated as… Something like… Old Andy… He is a bit of a lad… And most people… Naturally enough… Are okay… With that… But is that okay… Doctor Fow-Chee?… Some now… Would say… Most definitely not… Certainly not with girls… Shall we say, ahem… Of a certain age…

Although… The word is… That all that… May be about to change… Holly, what fools we are… As if I would ever do anything to you… Or you to me… Are you willing to take the stand… To prove your innocence?… Said the interviewer… Well, I am no different to anyone else… Said Andy… And I have to be very careful… And follow the advice of my legal team… On all such matters… Except, Andy… This makes you very different… To almost everybody else… Who do not have a legal team… And whom if innocent… Would certainly be willing… To take the stand… Tell the truth… And so clear their name…

That legal team… Did everything they could… To avoid Andy taking the stand… Including branding his accuser… A money grubber… Nice phrase!… But at the end of it all… And to end it all… After Andy had been stripped of all his State duties… He stumped up twelve million pounds… To a woman he claimed he had no recollection of ever meeting… Despite photographic evidence to the contrary… To avoid taking the stand… And despite all of this… Commentators worldwide… Citing the timing… And the ignominy etc…. Insisted… That this did not… Actually… Make him guilty… As accused… Really?
