In other news, the BBC is about to make a one-off 'mockumentary' about a well-known political figure who has recently retired from the scene.
The actor portraying the aforesaid politician calls him "a gift for parody".
Ah, how I'm looking forward to What a Balls Up! - a hilarious spoof on the fall and rise of Ed Balls, one minute losing his seat in the 2015 general election, the next reappearing (like a tangoing phoenix) on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.
The Radio Times is reporting that the show will include an angle which focuses on his marriage to pixie-like failed Labour leadership candidate Yvette Cooper.
If only...and of course not.
In reality, it's all about Nigel Farage. Apparently, they are going to make him part-Basil Fawlty, part-Enoch Powell (and you can guess where that's going to go).
And yes, alas, apparently his wife really will be brought into the mockery too.
Which other well-known politician would the BBC do this to?
Astonishingly, reports even say "If the episode is a success it could be given the green light to be turned into a full series".
Just imagine that with your 'BBC impartiality' hats on!
Unsuspecting readers might still be hoping that this is a merely a bit of very black satire on our part, but, unfortunately, it isn't. The BBC really are intending to do this.
The BBC are truly beyond parody.
