improvised theatre

Along the same lines ...

"An exorcism isn't an appropriate subject for television", or similar words, from Ann Widdecombe, on the subject of last night's TV offal. I have this image of an office, deep in Whitehall, staffed by spotty interns who watch TV all day with a big list of appropriate subjects. Whenever something not on the list comes up, they write it up and send it to any MP who hasn't done much recently, so they can make unnecessary remarks about it.

Every so often they make a mistake and give one to Boris Johnson, who laughs in their puffy faces before nicking their bagels and sauntering off down the corridor whistling the theme tune to Joe 90.
