Not making his Mark
The annual ritual of Celebrity Big Brother castings has begun. The producers are looking for a top-notch politico to humiliate themselves (à la Galloway) once again. Endemol was quite keen to get Jeffrey Archer, but the only politician likely to want to humiliate himself even further is the disgraced former LibDem leadership candidate Mark Oaten, who fancies a Portilloesque media career after he steps down as an MP. Sadly, Oaten, a serious soul, lacks Portillo's intellect and humour. Brace yourselves for the "at home with the Oatens" features.
