Last time on last word: Hugh Hefner, Stanislav Petrov, Teddy Taylor, Liz Dawn

 

They really don't like sports unless it's football (trying to avoid the culture clash here), do they?

There is a hierarchy on Radio 4 that should be noted. Politics, High Culture (this includes Pop Music if the producers listened to it at Uni (e.g. David Bowie), Business, Public Service, Sport and finally Low Culture. For Radio 4 purposes Cricket is considered as High Culture and not Sport.

Hmm, the deep backlog. Did Hedley Jones even receive a DDP-qualifying obit?

Maybe The Last Word could be added as a QO source?

This week on last word:

 

Lord Imbert, the Commissioner who tried to change the culture of the Metropolitan Police. He invited TV cameras to observe his officers at work, leading to a controversial film of them subjecting a rape victim to aggressive questioning.

 

Pat Hutchins, the children's author and illustrator who created the book "Rosie's Walk" and presented the TV series "Rosie and Jim".

 

Rodney Bewes, the actor best known for playing Bob in the Likely Lads.

 

Charles Manson, one of the most notorious murderers of the 20th century. 

 

And David Cassidy, the singer and actor who was a heartthrob for millions of teenage girls in the 1970s.

Cheggers is nailed on for this week, no chance of Max Clifford so as not to be slaughtered by the Daily Mail.

Dunno re Clifford - lots of archive recordings and an interesting story. It ain't like Gary Glitter where they've airbrushed him out of history by way of banning his records.

They just covered Manson a few weeks ago. They love their "and then he turned out to be a monster" bits for midway through the episode.

Not only did Max Clifford made the lineup, he was also the headliner this time...

Please tell me I wasn't the only one who say this and did a double take, thinking of Norman Baker the fairly notable Lib Dem.
