David Bowie,with all his drug-fuelled nonsense and his strictly limited appeal, gets a full front-page photo and an entire edition, and practically,to himself (12 January). Terry Wogan merits a quarter of the front page and a miserly half-page obit (1 February). One wonders what you’ll conclude when David Attenborough goes. Probably approximately like Wogan. Like Wogan, he’s led a blameless and profoundly useful life. Just not very, and shall we be kind and say,colourful? I wish you would discontinue trying to suck up to yoof.
