A new take on Last Of the Summer Wine

'...Surrounded by homosexual pensioners enjoying innocent outdoor larks in relentless Northern drizzle, the whole thing feels like a transplantation of Last of the Summer Wine to Royston Vasey.'

Hooray! Blunkett's resigned! No-one can shove their nose deeper in the trough than an ex-councillor ('The two front trotters, too', to quote the sublime Yes, Minister.) And you have to love the way a man who has illegitimate kids was brought down over a directorship at a DNA testing firm.

I'm taking bets on the length of time till he takes a Euro commissioner's job.
