Ok, we need a new James Bond AND a new Archbishop of Canterbury, and pretty soon it'll be time for another new Willy Wonka and a new Doctor Who. We need to economise. They should all be amalgamated into a single new character called Archdoctor Bondwonka.

I still think quite a lot about David Scarboro, the original Mark Fowler from EastEnders, hounded to suicide by the tabloids after he was written out of the show as the character wasn't working. They reported his decline with glee simply because attacking the BBC sold papers.
