Westminster Sketch: We had that Paul Merton in the back of the press gallery for Prime Minister’s Questions. You know, the deadpan wit of television fame whose special talent is to describe extremely improbable scenarios with a straight, serious, face.

Its all crap isn't it. Dumming down? Well er.. No. I can't quite believe this. I turned up at a friends house to see Paul Merton sitting down with a bunch of Sadhus in a circle. Anyone who has been to India knows what happens next. But Paul Merton? On prime time TV? Cut to the advert break. I've seen people watch people do drugs on TV, I've seen a very scientific presentation of a couple of guys out...
