RT @hunterbarrister: Nothing much happening in the news so now seems like a good time to put out a small personal announcement: unashamedly…

(I don't recall The Incident of The Blue Peter Cat, but am now riven with curiosity.)

Very taken with social media commentary on #StrictlyFinal. "Fix. It's not like the BBC haven't got form. Remember the Blue Peter cat?..."
