BBC1 devoted itself to mind freezing tedium all day yesterday - nothing new in that, except it was unbroken coverage of the lachrymose Diana 'tribute' concert which slouched on and on and bloody on for what seemed like a month.
Bryan Ferry was introduced by...Boris Becker and John McEnroe. Gibbering over one another about him making records for 35 years, wearing nice clothes, liking 'the laydeeez', etc etc. Even worse - Lily Allen was introduced by Dennis Hopper..who must be feeling very, very ashamed...after a long controversial and often squalid career, this was surely the nadir..

Thankfully we didn't know it was on - I switched the TV on for the news, and Lorna said that she wouldn't have minded seeing it. I guess it was a fitting tribute. Bland, boring and slightly camp. But Dennis Hopper? I'd love to think that Blue Velvet was one of her favourite things. After all, received playground wisdom was always that it was the other Princess who was into the kinky stuff.
