Mark Lawson Does David Mitchell

Another blind alley. Thinking that there was a remote possibility that Mark Lawson might pull something interesting out of his very small hat I clicked on the iPlayer link. After what seemed like an hour and a half I saw that I'd been yawning for fifteen minutes and, unable to take any more, closed it.

The good thing about the BBC is that no matter how boring, witless or mediocre the 'talent', nine terms at Camox Bridgeford will not adversely affect one's chance of a living on the licence payer, though it helps to have been up at Cambridge and not Oxford.
