Pod Stallions 129: Plaid Stallions turns 20
Pod Stallions is back....in pog form! April, 2006 was a momentous time on the interwebs, for it was the birth-time of the legendary Plaid Stallions. Brought to life by a man determined to find use out of the many catalogue pages he’d acquired, it quickly became an invaluable resource for toy reference and fashion giggles. It’s since expanded its borders with a podcast, action figure releases, a toy magazine, and soon its own cologne in a Brick Mantooth bust bottle. We might be a tad late to the birthday party, but we honour its 20th trip round the sun in a brand new (!!) episode. There’s a saying, ‘you’re as young as you feel’, and if that’s true, then Plaid Stallions is still just a pre-teen, excited by all the best pop culture from the best decades. And trying to get the Spectrum channel to unscramble every Friday night.

![Have I Got News for You
Deayton's suave manner as host of Have I Got News for You led to his being nicknamed "TV's Mr Sex", by a Time Out listings writer.[7]
In May 2002, the British tabloid newspaper the News of the World reported he had taken cocaine and had sex with prostitutes.[8] He was ridiculed by Paul Merton and Ian Hislop in the following episode of Have I Got News for You but continued as presenter. Deayton began the episode with: "Good evening and welcome to Have I Got News for You, where this week's loser is presenting it." He added later, "There is, by the way, no need to adjust your set, my face is this red."[9]
Following more allegations in October, Deayton was dismissed after two episodes of the new series. One online poll, on the BBC's own website, showed over three-quarters of respondents wanted Deayton to stay on as the programme's host.[10] In April 2003, Stephen Fry supported Deayton by refusing to appear on the show again.[11]
Responding to Merton's "I didn't stab him in the back, I stabbed him in the front" line regarding the episode, in 2016 Deayton said: "Yes, I've heard this and [his comment] is a way of not answering the question. But it's such a tangled web to describe what happened. And Merton and Hislop probably don't know what was happening in the background."[2]
