The BBC makes a telling intervention on the ID cards issue, teaching our children that a PM and security staff who make you wear identity cards are probably not the real PM and security staff at all, but flatulent aliens called SLITHEEN chemically shrink-wrapped into super-sized human suits.
The Slitheen use the evil booby-trapped ID cards to disable all bearers, then one Slitheen dresses up in a Prime Minister suit and tells the world wildly improbable fibs about massive weapons of destruction which could be unleashed in 45 seconds.
Our friends abroad can look forward to the new series of Dr Who. It makes you proud to pay the BBC licence fee.
Perhaps you were “hiding behind the sofa.” The large man in charge was actually impersonating the Deputy PM: They had killed the PM.
The repeated “post Hutton” quips were amusing.
However, I do hope that youngsters don’t copy some of their scenes such as putting people head first into wheely bins.

Please can we have even one popular entertainment series which gently increases people’s understanding of technology?
Very few people (and even fewer politicians) understand enough about (any) technology to make rational judgements.
For example, very soon, the UK will have to decide about nuclear power.
