Match of the Day (MOTD), that weekly festival of English Premiership football proceeded this weekend without its anker man (‘w’ omitted by our sensitivity reader) Gary Lineker, and he was joined in his absence by two of the Linekerati: Alan Shearer and Ian Wright. Unsurprisingly the viewing figures have skyrocketed, and the BBC might get
Like most children of the 1980s, I was introduced to the pleasure of reading primarily by Roald Dahl.

I only catch the BBC Radio 4 Today programme briefly each day. I listen to a few minutes while shaving. It is really all that I can stand. On Friday morning we were treated to the ghastly story of the death, at police hands, of Tyre Nichols. It more than appears (it was all caught
