A couple of days ago I was listening to the Radcliife and Maconie show on BBC Radio Two, and they were discussing the Channel Four mockumentary, “The Execution of Gary Glitter” . I didn’t see that apparently bizarre piece of programming, but it was reviewed by Liam. I am not sure that the death penalty [...]

The Dancing Questionnaire series has been slightly dormant of late, so I've invited a few people to have a go - though anybody is welcome to participate. Next up is Kevin from Your Heart Out and The London Nobody Sings , the latter an excellent blog featuring a daily song about London. One of the things I like about people's answers to these questionnaires is the connections that emerge - how people...

On crap-o-vision, again Typical. You go a whole year without anything truly, truly bad on television, and then two gems come along in a week. And bugger my luck - I go and miss both of them. Regular readers know that I'm a big fan of rubbish, and last year's Demons on ITV was a true turd on the otherwise white tablecloth of British television which I thought could never be beaten. And BANG - two in...

Ed Balls is to get more powers. X-ray vision so he can still see while blinking, the ability to leap tall children with a single bounce, the power to catch bullets with his eyelids (who wants to test that one?) and a shiny Spandex suit with 'Edikayshun Man' written on it. Not really. He'll have to wait until he's finished his ice lair at the North Pole before he gets those. For the moment he'll have...

It’s the 21st Century. We throw ourselves around the world in great iron birds. We can communicate with someone on the other side of the globe in an instant by bouncing our voices off the myriad satellites that orbit our planet. We’re beginning to unravel the secrets of DNA. Our understanding of the quantum world is beginning to hasten in a new era of human enlightenment. And yet we’re...

"Technology sucks! (Sucks!) I wish I could change all your numbers, put your phone underwater," belts big-voiced Allison Iraheta in her Gary Glitter/"Rock and Roll parts 1 & 2"-leaning Just Like You album track, "Robot Love." That one's sandwiched between two glossed-up Max Martin numbers, the single "Friday I'll Be Over U" and the very MM-style ballad "Just...

Researching a story, I came across this fantastic Mirror Christmas card featuring Piers Morgan and Gary Glitter. The pic dates back to Morgan's celebrity filled days on the Sun's Bizarre section. The card was published in Press Gazette's Dog column at a time when Glitter was in jail. It was captioned: "And the award for the most regrettable photo-opportunity seized by an ego-mad journalist in...
