Tomorrow eve’s edition then is highly topical and relevant to our sport as it comes from Epsom. Such a fact, obviously, begs the question which racing figure / personality / luminary / big cheese (delete as appropriate) would like to see on the old panel??? Who do we reckon, team??? I’d plumb for Lieutenant Henderson. His noble and authoritive bearing remind me of this generations greatest statesman, Mr Cameron (where there was discord he brought harmony. Where there was error, he brought truth. Where there was doubt, he restored faith. And where there was despair, Mr Cameron, God bless him and save him, brought hope). And I’m sure with that brilliant brain The Lieutenant would swiftly cure all the ills currently contained within Austerity / Brexit / Broken / Lawless (delete as appropriate) Britain.
The fact that Question Time needs any type of 'Z-List Personality' on the show to get politics over to the 'yoof' of today should tell you that the show has gone past it's sell-by date I'm afraid... Now get the ole boy Trump on the show along with a few of his chums, Farage etc, plus Boris and maybe Diane Abbott, well, how could you not tune in to watch that...!!! Panto season would be in full flow there...
Francesca Cumani, Rebecca Curtis, and Emma Spencer would guarantee the Beeb an additional viewer from sunny Shropshire.
10 years ago I would have said John McCririck would have been a great Question Time pannelist ! Can't think of any these days who would be. John Francome maybe ?
And if things got boring, or there was a lull in the conversation, he could always climb up on the old table and then jump off it. I’m sure that would receive a rousing reception from the audience…
I see the runners for this evening’s 10.35 from Epsom have been announced – Rory Stewart, Barry Gardiner, Jo Swinson, Alex Phillips and old boy Steven Pinker.
Despite my left wing leanings Barry Gardiner gives me the boak! A-hole reminds me of the strange uncle who would turn up every couple of years with a 'new' young burd on his arm.
I have only dipped into Gavin and Stacey however I recall that the Welsh 'smoothie' is mildly likable whereas Mr Gardiner would, in the years of Spitting Image, be portrayed by a puppet very similar to the slimy and ingratiating Kenneth Baker. He is probably a nice fellow who is kind to animals and children.
Likeable, but the type of person you'd expect to wear Nylon shirts. And just what did happen on that boat trip?
I agree with the Nylon shirts however the mystery of the boat trip is beyond my knowledge of Gavin and Stacey.
For f**k's sake I'm trying to catch up on the episodes of The Looming Tower I missed while carousing around Paris and London. What the f**k happened on the boat?
