But Woss is a pain, and is to public service broadcasting what food is to excrement. So what 5 million people watch. 15 million of the morons watched Rickett on Coronation Street. Don't pander to their stupidity!<BR/><BR/>As for non-politicos. Well I don't care about them. A lot of them tend not to vote, or vote for the wrong reasons. If we are going to just go for cheap populism without policy, when not just get someone off a soap opera or something.

It was a gamble for DC to do it, but I reckon it will have paid off. <BR/><BR/>Given how increasingly turned off by politics people are becoming, there's surely a case to be made for more of these 'less traditional' interviews to take place.
