This Land of Anglo-Saxondales

9:30 this evening, BBC Two, for the best comedy on television this season. Tommy Saxondale is even closer to the bone than Alan Partridge was: this country really is full of men well into middle age who insist on dressing, speaking and acting as if they were still in their adolescent, rock'n'roll heyday. Or, at least, what they see as their heyday, a view which itself says a very great deal, and not in a good way. The last Prime Minister, whose name escapes me, was one such. Due to their demographic predominance as baby-boomers, these people constitute a major economic, social, cultural and political problem. Laughing at them is part of the solution. But only a very small part.
