Good question. PD seems to have become a figure of fun in the "Ha ha, look at the sad old person who's not on telly anymore" sense. Nobody seems to care that he's enormously skilled at what he does, and very entertaining. I've never quite understood why not being on telly is regarded as an insult, particularly when you look at who they do let on.
Brilliant. Why doesn't the Beeb repeat these for Christmas?
