The Wicked Witch of the West was a wicked witch. A total nasty force for evil. Nothing more complicated than that. A despicable, scary villain from a children's story.
Try to sketch her in more detail than that, you're basically fellating Trump.

Was Paddy McGuinness given his job on Radio 2 because he has the same accent as Sir Jimmy Savile? Sometimes it sounds uncanny, it’s like he never left us.

I often feel we’re one connection away from confirming the definite correlation between people who wear shorts in the winter, who celebrate Xmas from 6 Nov-26 Dec, and who vote Reform. There’s an impatient infantilism in society which will kill us all.

Well, you could begin with the first story in the series, for a start. But you’ll still be bringing to life the tiny-minded imagination of a rather dull 20th century Christian poet. You’d need to rewrite it top to bottom to make it good. Why bother?

Until I watched the DVD a decade or so ago it was the ultimate magical festive memory. By the end, I was open-mouthed at how utterly dumb and devoid of peril the plot was. The blame lies 100% with Masefield.

You have to love the way this sketch so reeks of Linehan: misogyny, tick, completely ignorant failure to appreciate Piper’s talent, tick: always on the wrong side of history.
