Vain Repetition

I missed the first two televised debates between the leaders of the three main parties, so when I watched last night's debate it was my  first experience of such a performance.

Although by no means riveted, I managed to stop my mind wandering for more than the odd minute or two during the debate itself, but was infuriated when the BBC news broadcast immediately following the debate consisted mainly of extracts from that debate.  Even though the clips were accompanied by an electronic measure of audience reaction called 'the worm', I had to turn off the news.

This worm had turned (off) !!
