Bloody Palace of Westminster!

Not content with featuring as the backdrop to every story about British politics in every news programme ever filmed- it managed - last night- to bag itself a starring role in a documentary about Henry VII, even though it wasn't built until nearly 400 years after his reign.

God, but I'm sick of the sight of it!

Presenters DOING things are really irritiating. They should just be voiceovers, or simply standing next to the thing they are talking about. They should not be walking, sipping coffee or in a boat.

They should also not be younger than me, either.

Andrew Graham Dixon- who I usually like- did a show about Dutch art a month or two back and spent half the running time bicycling through tulip fields and sitting in coffee-shops and just generally strolling around. I'd have preferred to see more paintings.
