If Simon Cowell is still tormenting himself over how best to fill David Walliams’s slot on Britain’s Got Talent I hope he can take a little time out on Saturday night.
To torture himself some more by watching the one that got away on BBC1.
I refer of course to Michael McIntyre, who was kicked into touch after just one series of BGT in 2011 for the crime of, one must reasonably conclude, being funnier than everyone else. Just look how that turned out.
