Letter: Yes, you with the yellow spots

GERARD EASTICK

Sunday, 19 December 1993

THANKFULLY the waiting is all over. The announcement, on your front page ('Dimbleby provides answer for 'Question Time' ', 12 December), has enabled us to get back to our normal lives. David Dimbleby is to be the new presenter of Question Time.

This event has, during the run-up to the announcement, carried with it more flam, more 'in-depth' personality profiles, more 'and now over to our media correspondent at the scene' ballyhoo than the election of a Pope. If the BBC really wants a slightly podgy, fully inter-textual, media-referent figurehead who will say nothing controversial, why didn't they give the job to Mr Blobby?

• Andrew Grice: Enough of the philosophy, Mr Cameron.

Think-tanks play an important role in politics. But they have their limits.

• Christina Patterson: Very nice - but forgiveness is overrated

Sometimes, as Lydon sang, in his post Sex Pistols band, 'anger is an energy.'

• Mary Dejevsky: Why not call Blair now and wrap it up?

The enquiry already seems like a sideline as the queues dwindle.
