Ok, I could take the Brexit vote. I can take Trump running for President of the USA. But this is a step too far. Jesus wept (in drag).

The Radio Times is almost exclusively read by middle-class old farts these days.

It's aged well simply because it was ahead of its time.
I remember watching it when it came out and not really understanding who the hell these people were. It just felt very much like a London thing.
