5 And so to the BIG QUESTIONS of the week

1 Anton du Beke saying Brendan Cole revealing his Strictly axe was one of the saddest things he’s seen on TV. Is it time for the Rohingya muslims to up their game?

2 Bile-spewer Katie Hopkins overdosing on ketamine. Will that have done more to make kids realise drugs aren’t cool than a thousand scary advertising campaigns?

3 Corrie’s Bill Roache believing he will live for ever. Is that based on the fact that Ken Barlow should have been killed off decades ago but somehow survived?

4 Historian Mary Beard saying Julius Caesar had a comb-over. Megalomaniacal dictators never change, eh?

5 Gus O’Donnell accusing leading Brexiteers of being snake-oil salesmen. Did they used to write their lies in big numbers on the sides of stagecoaches?
