I thought maybe SOTCAA could put in a joint proposal. It's the only way to be sure that Absolutely gets repeated.

Perhaps Dom Joly could re-invent the role of Chief Executive as an art-form?

Dunno why, but I've got this feeling they'll end up appointing someone from outside the TV industry, rather like Janet Street-Porter editing the Indescribablyboring on Sunday.

Yeah, that worked out really well, didn't it?

= they'll probably do it.

Dom Joly would set up an hilarious stunt in which he holds a commissioning meeting at a zebra crossing, whilst having ratings spoken to him over an over-sized mobile phone.

"Nigel, pick me".

(That's probably tempting fate - "Channel Four's latest reality Tv show, 'Who Wants to Get the Blame?', coming this autumn".)
