Can you believe what our Prime Minister did with a tangerine?
But can you believe that my phone call ended up in the Financial Times? And on the BBC show The Bubble (14 mins 15 secs in to be precise). And The Telegraph and The Sun. And animated by a Hong Kong news channel…
And the full story on the BBC website.
Always believe the news.
PS – Sorry, Mr B.
PPS – Props to the FT for smelling a (citric) rat!
PPS – Oh, and here’e the wiki page.

As if anyone called Brian lives in Brittany. The animation was on BBC breakfast!
I am shocked!
Poor Mr B.
Of course I didn't! I just made a phone call!
I think it's Robin you should apologise to, Robert. He'd be mortified at all the publicity. That is, if he ever gets his internet connection sorted out.
I was amazed, although the FT clearly thought it was extremely dodgy.
“Citric Idiot”, now there's an album title! Well Done!
Evidence is emerging that Gordon Brown is Susan Boyles longs lost brother
Me too.
Thank you Mr. Popper, that was citricly funny, I laughed my peel off. The whole concept, your tone on the phone and the imagery created by your description, I find it all delightfully funny.
Thank you very much.
Go on!
This is the funniest thing I think I've ever seen in my life. The original call-in was pretty chucklesome, the Telegraph reporting it as fact was beautiful, but…
CGI reconstruction? I was doing a bizarre seal-pup-like laugh of confused disbelief and utter joy. Thank you, Robin, but most of all, thank you world.
This is quite incredible! How amazing that this little mole hill has turned into one giant mountain. I applaud you Mr. Popper, extraordinary work!
Thanks. I'd say it was a little mountain!
Nice work fella
It may appear very funny to you guys, whether Tangerinegate is real or not, but the issue of Fruit based Abuse cannot be overlooked in the wider context.
Toby the Tangerine abhors and condones all forms of fruit based abuse real or contrived, from bananna splits to cherry drops.
Say NO to FRUIT ABUSE.
