    <content type="html">After getting on for forty years, all good things (and &lt;i&gt;Last of the Summer Wine&lt;/i&gt;) have to come to an end. I've just read the script of the final episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://faustus.dreamwidth.org/337762.html#cutid1"&gt;SPOILER!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=faustus&amp;ditemid=337762" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">I await with interest how &lt;i&gt;Private Eye&lt;/i&gt; satirises the ConDemmed years - it feels somewhere between The Odd Couple (Clegg as Jack Lemmon) and Ant and Dec (Cameron is the one who stands on the right, I think). I guess there was a fear that satire would have nothing to do in 1997 - we were sadly wrong - and we'll need it even more. Even if it achieves nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was talking about the 1997 Armando Ianucci 1997 election special the other night with someone who hadn't seen it (nor did I, I suspect, not just because I was in deepest darkest Northamptonshire) and realised the reason he didn't see it was that he was about 12. Ook. Then I had a panicked and checked - yes, I may have been older than the last two Doctors, but I am still younger than &lt;i&gt;My Two PMs&lt;/i&gt;. (A sitcom?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile the one to look out for is Sayeeda Warsi, the Chairman of the Tories, who has expressed some er, views over the years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=faustus&amp;ditemid=331337" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
