Can anyone confirm this? I don't know how reputable "The Sun" is.

Not very, for the most part. However, I've no reason to doubt the details of this story. With papers like the Sun, you simply have to be careful of the particular emphasis and interpretation of details - and be wary of the banner headlines which often tell a story of their own, but that mostly applies to the more political rants that tabloids are prone to.

Here's the local papers response

and the BBC's coverage

Personally, I love that the term "yobs" is considered to be journalistically sound.

Well I guess I should have known better considering that they called Tom Baker an eighties time traveller. He era was mostly in the 70s.

It was that Jet Lag in him coming to the U.S. that caused that.
