The documentary, which airs on Five next Wednesday at 10pm, features an exclusive interview with Andrew Sach's granddaughter, Georgina Baillie.

The documentary will also feature previously unseen footage of Miss Baillie in action as she performs with her four-piece burlesque dance group, Satanic Sluts Extreme.

The programme will also feature contributions from some of Brand's former colleagues and a host of others including: The Satanic Slut dance troupe, Max Clifford and former Heat editor Mark Frith.

The media frenzy surrounding the pair stems from Russell Brand's BBC2 Radio show which aired the now infamous pre-recorded segment with Jonathan Ross.

The fall-out forced Brand to resign from the BBC and resulted in a three-month unpaid suspension for Ross.

Baillie is the granddaughter of Andrew Sachs. the 78-year-old actor best known for playing Manuel in Fawlty Towers.
