  • Description: At 50, having not danced for a decade, raddled with vast quantities of prescription uppers and downers, he must have known his body wasn't up to the job of giving his fans and promoters the extravaganzas they wanted. Besides being the only programme on BBC television that doesn't believe in anthropogenic global warming, it stands up for any number of other old-fashioned, stateproscribed, almost-lost causes: the idea that driving is a healthy and desirable thing, never better than when conducted at high speed; that military hardware is cool, sexy and worth buying lots of; that foreigners are there mainly to be laughed at for their silly foreign ways; that elf'n'safety is unnatural and wrong; that being British, well English really, is a privilege granted only to the luckiest and best.
