Dog doesn't bite man!

I always feel that my Sunday newspaper could be prosecuted under the Trades Description Act, because it's anything but a newspaper. It's full of gossip and "human interest" stories, but little or no news. I accept this, but I expect rather better from the BBC. However for the past couple or three Sundays, the BBC's breakfast news programme has seen fit to regale us with details of Bill Turnbull's exploits on "Strictly Come Dancing". Fascinating though this may be to his friends and family, and to devotees of the programme, of one thing I am certain - it ain't news!
