Jack Brickhead of Sunderland is claiming one hundred thousand pounds compensation from the BBC on behalf of his six year old son Tyrone.
    `Tyrone has been completely traumatised and unable to speak, eat or go to the toilet since he heard that the phone-in to name a new kitten on `Blue Peter` was rigged,` said Jack today. `Our Tyrone spent all his fifty pounds pocket money ringing the program with his chosen name of Ecstasy, which he picked in memory of his big sister Wanda, who died tragically after falling down the steps of the `POP ONE INN` nightclub in the city.` 
     Jack has written to the Head of Children`s Entertainment for the BBC enclosing photos of a painfully thin Tyrone staring forlornly into his plate of nourishing tripe and pig`s trotters. `I don`t think one hundred thousand pounds is an unrealistic sum for ruining a young lad`s life,` said Jack. `My boy doted on `Blue Peter` especially that fit Indian bird, and this whole sorry episode has shattered his belief in television completely. Most nights he would sit up watching programs until one or two in the morning but now he takes himself off to bed sometimes before eight `o clock. Well it`s not healthy is it and I`m sure when the BBC realize what they have done to my lad they`ll be only too willing to cough up the dough so we can at least get one of them child physiologicalists to have a look at him.....
