Who dear? Me dear? Prig dear?

Some vintage Nadine Dorries for your New Year delectation. She's in a right two-and-eight about the Catherine Tate Christmas Special:

Having watched endless episodes of The Vicar of Dibley, Father Ted, Blackadder, and Red Dwarf; timed my pud to coincide with the Christmas special of To the Manor Born; and been subjected to endless episodes of the forever perpetually screened teenage favourite Friends, I have reached a conclusion - that the funniest comedy is entirely void of bad language and overt sexual innuendo.

It is also obviously written by people with great intellect, who know how to knit the laughs through a script for maximum well-timed impact. Will and Grace apparently has a team of 12 such clever people.

After 15 minutes of Catherine Tate (recorded), I switched off. It was offensive and violated the expression 'family viewing'. I thought of 'The Office Christmas Special' and how Ricky Gervais mixed pathos and wit with spectacular success.

We confess to being completely stumped by this. Is Nadine really saying there is no sexual innuendo in Friends? And no bad language in Father Ted? And no references to "the gays" and all they get up to in Will and Grace? Did she write to Ofcom after one too many sherries? And does she think 10.30 pm is "family viewing" time? What a smeghead!
