Before I get into this week’s review, we have to talk about The Great British Bake Off. You’re doubtless aware that the BBC has been outbid for it by Channel 4. The BBC’s Six O’Clock News gave it deadly serious headline status, ranking it just behind the parliamentary boundary review and several items ahead of the Labour leadership contest. A woman interviewed in the street said: “It’s a real shock ... It’s part of our constitution.” She was talking about Bake Off, not Parliament. No one watches that.
