... then Ain't Misbehavin' (much) ...

Next track being "we're a bunch of opportunistic bastards who are looting a public funded corporation t benefit our cronies and ain't no- one gonna stop us much less the Government who are doing the same thing only bigger". (Not sure this Is an actual song...)

Or Someone (needs) to watch over Beeb - or Pattenooga choo-choo - or maybe I'm gonna wash that Mark right out of my hair immediately followed by There's a plane that's leaving now for New York - or perhaps Send down the clowns - or even Smoke (and mirrors) gets in your eyes...

...and don't let's forget Noël Coward's song There are bad times just around the corner, with its immortal lines

There are bad times just around the corner,
The horizon's gloomy as can be,
There are blackbirds over
The greyish cliffs of Dover
And the rats are preparing to leave the BBC.

Aaargh! Enough already!!

Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

The BBC regret that tonight's classic feature film Gold Diggers of 2013..."we're in the money!" will now be shown at a much later date. Instead viewers will see the Tom Hanks comedy, The Money Pit.

"Laugh? I split my bonus!" says Caroline Thompson.
