Murd-au naturel

Tory MSP Murdo Fraser is not too bothered either way about the future of Channel 4 – but he’s unconvinced it deserves its reputation for being high-brow. “The notion that a channel that broadcasts shows like Naked Attraction has some intrinsic artistic or cultural value is laughable”, he tweeted. But Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex ColeHamilton saw right through Murdo’s smoke and mirrors to what he really wanted. “Don’t be too hard on yourself. Lose a few pounds and they’ll have you on in a flash next season,” he replied. Ooh-err.
