Adam Postans The ta-ta from me AWARDS
AFTER 201 columns, it’s with a heavy heart that I say this is my final one. What an incredible four years of TV. Sky1 taught a dog to fly an aeroplane, Gary Lineker presented Match of the Day in his underpants, Danny Dyer was revealed as the rightful heir to the throne.
And a bloke with a beard made front-page news by throwing ice cream in a bin in a big tent, on BBC2.
Television. Bloody hell. So I leave you with an awards special.
