Fan-dabi-dozi

David Miliband, who until quite recently used to be the next leader of the Labour Party, may be contemplating a career change. He has pitched some programme ideas to the BBC. What might these include? Perhaps the corporation could disinter The Generation Game and install the former Foreign Secretary as the successor to showbiz legends Bruce Forsyth, Larry Grayson and Jim Davidson.  Or, inspired by his brother’s economic policy, he could take over from where Terry Wogan and Les Dawson left off on Blankety Blank. Maybe he could form a comedy double act with Michael Portillo, another failed politician turned media luvvie. They might even come to rival the likes of Little and Large or the Krankies. That would be fan-dabi-dozi.
