I think I saw Australian Expat Problem on the John Peel stage in 1993, etc etc.

There's a budget? Someone should have mentioned it.

Picture of my dog contemplating the prospect of a time when you can't nick Mini Cheddars.

Hopefully! We have a few things in the diary, but organisers haven't announced yet. Watch this space...

I'm not in any way wanting to detract from the important point you're making, but a big reason rain doesn't stop play on centre court at more is that they put a retractable roof on it.

If our government had a strategic sense, they'd invest in the BBC and capitalise on a genuinely world class British brand, instead of faffing about like a bunch of cowards terrified by a handful of newspapers that hardly anyone even reads anymore.

Also, although Donald Trump did in fact attempt to incite an insurrection, that misdeed is tiny compared to the magnitude of what he's got up to since being re-elected, so none of what the BBC is accused of even matters anyway.

The BBC is bloody brilliant. It's central to the fact that British democracy isn't circling the drain like it is in America, it preserves a common culture, and propagates respect for facts. We should defend it as firmly as we fight corruption, because it's a crucial part of integrity in public life.

There's always the possibility, and I'm spitballing here, that he was talking crap?
