Broadcasters should have no views on who should be a Minister, but a few may concede that Jeremy Hunt’s spell as Culture Secretary was tough-going. For some reason his name and role are easily Spoonerised with, as the Radio Times might say, hilarious consequences.

I've never understood the appeal of formal dancing with its mixed move sequences, along with its ridiculous elaboration on Strictly, where it becomes more akin to athletics than to be enjoyed. When free dancing came in in the 60s and you would dance alone making up your own moves, many of my parents' generation spoke of a lewd sexualisation of dancing, overlooking the contradiction that formal ballroom dances in close proximity to a partner, even rubbing along, was far more sexualising, and compulsorily too. And so often white western rhythms are not inspiring to get up and dance to. Give me something psycho-physically liberating, either African rhythm-based or Latin, which derived from Africa, and not only will I join in, you'll find it hard to stop me!
