Press clippings
"The Men From The Ministry" (Monday) is, I have to admit sheepishly, almost my favourite programme. It is reliably and expertly smutty, but in the predictable and cosy fashion of playground jokes. It laughs at civil servants and politicians - hardly new targets. But it also laughs at technology - a welcome antidote to too much junior science.
