I was in the office one morning working on a script when the emails started to arrive.
Message after message telling me the same thing, how a sleepy haven in the East Midlands had become a hotbed of cheating and backstabbing.
Beeston in Nottinghamshire, they said, is the most adulterous town in the UK.
And Loughborough in Leicestershire, just a few miles from where I'd grown up, was also in the top ten.
941 affairs reportedly taking place right now.
What was going on?
A listener from Beeston had got in touch with a theory.
Are people in Beeston just too sexy to resist each other?
Or is there something more sinister behind these figures?
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, we've definitely seen a success in our push to introduce statistics and fact-checking to a tabloid audience, which previously perhaps weren't that... It was previously something that tabloids didn't really cover and we've had a lot of fun with it.
Oh, well, yeah, I suppose you're right.
But it is now, at least in the website, we've done our bit.
We've tried to fact check all parties.
And as I said, we had a lot of fun with it, especially with our charts with the wrong baselines.
Yeah, I would say so.
I mean, obviously, we've had a big response on Twitter and Twitter is a universe in itself.
But our charts have made it into the paper as well.
So I would consider that a success.
