Pope Benedict and the telly
I had been thinking how well the Beeb had been covering Pope Benedict's pastoral and state visit. They used to do these things so well in the Dimbleby days of hushed and respectful - and infrequent - interjections by people who knew what they were talking about, and the coverage from Westminster Abbey yesterday was Auntie at her best.
A pity, then, that the joyous singing of the Rutter Blessing at the end of the Hyde Park celebrations this evening was completely obliterated by chattering voice-overs. It must have been the work experience team. Back to hacks' primary school, please.
