How do you solve a problem like the PM?
Graham Norton’s “slip” last night during the BBC’s “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” has sparked speculation of a live TV audition platform for deciding Labour’s successor to current Prime Minister, Tony Blair. ‘Gay’ Norton let slip subtle clues about the possible new program, including references to “that handsome Scot”, “the fat pig” and “that Short woman”.
BBC spokesperson Gill Frill, told us:
“No, no. It’s all a misunderstanding. He was talking about the CBeebies program ‘Balamory’. The handsome scot in question is, of course, the decadently-pink Archie; the fat pig, one can assume is PC Plum. The short woman, I’m guessing, is either the one in the wheelchair or the little dumpy one who runs the shop with her.”
That Norton might describe the “fruitiest” member of Balamory as “handsome” is, in our opinion, plausible. However, we’re still hedging our bets on the whole thing being a cover up for a “fall-season” all-dancing, all-singing, spectacular.
We wish that Ant and Dec were doing it though, to be honest.
