    The TV show showed one of the victims of his medical attention. He is perhaps the most 'real' victim we've seen of Menalus's illegal crime (for which he was punished accordingly with 16 weeks jailtime). For those who didn't see the show, it was preceeded by a guy pretending to be a dentist, who had done things like dropping syringes down peoples throats.... it wasn't a 'get at Craig' show, it was a 'beware of fake physicians' segment of the show.

    SA, please don't be overly naive in defending him. He was a complete basketcase when you were talking to him - and it's much easier for him to fool someone you barely know. What chance would you have had of 'knowing' him, when the woman he was living/sleeping with had no idea what lengths his lies would go to? He since spent time in psychiatric care, let's hope that he's been keeping out of trouble since.
    Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

      He was on here a few days ago and is rarely away for any great length of time.

          Being on at peak time viewing on BBC1 can't have done his employment prospects much good, unless MI6 or the actors association are interested.

            Noone ever knows anyone - all you can do is trust your spider-sense.

            That's what I always do.

              I trust my spidey-sense too and it's telling me that there is something more sinister about Menelaus that you're all forgetting. He's a predator, not a helpless fool.

                      By god that was a tulip program, although hosted by John Littlewood is usually a good indicator that it's aimed at the hard of thinking

                      Next week
                      Fake BBC program listings
                      From his 'Fake House' stuffed with counterfeit goods, presenter Dominic Littlewood reveals the extent of people using fake identities in the UK.

                      We follow the UK Border agency as they intercept people with fake identities coming into the country, including a woman carrying a fake passport. We go inside the high security National Document Fraud Unit - which has dealt with cases such as the Lockerbie bombing and the shoe bomber Richard Reid, and look at the work of customs and excise as they intercept fake documents used to create fake identities.

                      We show how a man with no qualifications operated as a fake dentist, and meet the victims of his work. In Birmingham, we meet the council officials who catch people faking disability and using blue badge passes to park for free in the city centre. There's a look at the criminal gangs who are faking driving tests by getting experienced drivers to take the test for learners in return for a payoff, putting hundreds of illegal and inexperienced drivers on our roads, and we show a raid by the Driving Standards Agency investigations team and the police where they arrest a suspected driving test impersonator.
