Kash Free Society
We haven't done a Top of the Pops review since we've been back. This isn't just laziness on our part, as you may have suspected, but mainly came down to the fact that we were running out of ways to say "Tim Kash: He's a bit rubbish, isn't he?". Fortunately that's all going to be a thing of the past, however, as the BBC has delivered the ultimate variation on that phrase by finally realising what the viewing public of Britain have known all along and will be giving him the boot at the end of August. He's not officially being sacked for being a talent vacuum with all the personality and charm of a dead hedgehog, but because of his "growing MTV commitments", which seems to us to be a polite way of saying "If you want him you can have him". Alas, we're not quite free of his unique presenting 'skills' yet, he'll still be co-hosting Friday's live extravaganza (their words, not ours, we hasten to add) from Gateshead. If you're going to be in the audience for this then, please, chuck a rotten tomato for us, we'll appreciate it.
