That’s rich, Bruno

I was shocked to read in The Mail on Sunday that the BBC is paying Bruno Tonioli the equivalent of £33,000 per minute for his brief appearances by video link on Strictly Come Dancing. Yet it constantly bleats that it does not have the money to fund free TV licences for the over75s. Tonioli is a good entertainer, but both he and the BBC should hang their heads in shame.
