Gordon’s alive!

So the Saatchi and Saatchi agency has been recruited to look after Labour’s advertising for the general election. Whenever that might be. <cough>

Here’s their pitch:
Not flash, just Gordon

What the BBC story doesn’t tell you*, is that they were previously turned down by the Liberal Democrats after this proposal:
Not merciless, just Ming

For some reason, the Tories - despite the success of Labour Isn’t Working in 1979 - also turned them down. Can’t imagine why:
Not anything really, just Dave

*because (let’s be clear for legal purposes) I’ve made it up

Doctor Who meets Doctor Death

Filed under: Doctor Who, Pictures, Politics — Will @ 3:52 pm

Rooting around in the attic, I have discovered one of the lesser-known educational books for children from the 1980s.

Big Brother

I was very disappointed to see Germaine go. Like Peter Black, I was rooting for her to win. I sympathise with her reasons for quitting though: given the past antipathy between her and Brigitte Nielsen, introducing Jackie Stallone (who appears courtesy of the Jim Henson Workshop), was just unpleasant.
