Standards, dear boy. Standards!

I am heartened to find that in these days of anything goes that BBC viewers are outraged by an appalling drop in standards being displayed by their news readers.

Only yesterday morning on the Newswatch program, poor old Raymond Snoddy (wouldn't you change your name if that were you?) was inundated by emails and letters from outraged members of the viewing public complaining about the terrible drop in dress standards displayed by news presenters.

After all, do we not remember the good old days when even radio news readers were required to wear full evening dress?

And what caused this outrage. Why only this week Sian Williams was seen on the Breakfast sofa wearing white jeans! Shock! Horror...

Surely this could not get worse - but yes, it can! Their arts reporter (whose name escapes me and probably everyone else as well) was seen on two consecutive reports wearing denim jeans! But, as my wife so succinctly put it, she was more concerned that he hadn't changed his shirt.

Anyway, here's my suggestion for newsreaders' dress. Standards, dear boy. Standards...
