The Bishop on complete rubbish

Or: What the Bishop was doing while the Doctor Who episode ‘Fear Her’ was playing in the other room.

In fact the Bishop won’t do as he originally planned and go into detail about all the shaving, washing up, sock-drawer arranging and general piss-farting around he got up to in lieu of subjecting himself to this poster child for tedium; not wishing to bore his readers in quite the way the team at BBC Wales saw fit to bore him. What he will note, however, for your hilarious amusement and open-mouthed disbelief alike, is how the episode ended.

The Doctor lights the 2012 Manchester Olympic flame.

Which, in the wonderful world of Russell T. Davies, shows what each and every one of us could do if we would only try to make difference like the Doctor. If we just gave it that ol’ college try, we too could slip past the planet’s tightest security, steal the centrepiece of an event the whole world is watching, and generally look as though we’re about to commit the biggest terrorist act in human history. All without anybody so much as batting an eyelid.

Or perhaps, like the Bishop, they had simply fallen asleep.
