Hard to believe that Mrs Doubtfire could be shown on TV, or indeed anywhere in public view, once let alone repeated as the BBC did on Saturday. The major surprise is that the end credits are not accompanied by a distant, reverberating BLAMM! as everyone who had anything to do it blows their collective brains out in shame and self-disgust at their part in foisting this sorry dross on humanity.

BB’s view is coloured slightly by the fact that we once wasted three nights queueing outside a sold-out Aberystwyth cinema to see it on release, when there were forty pubs in town offering a much higher and more intelligent standard of entertainment on a walk-in basis.

Surely Robin Williams cannot continue to coast on the goodwill generated by “Live at the Met” for much longer…
