Fans of the grotesquely overpaid Jonathan Ross – apparently he has them – have expressed fears this week that when he returns to the airwaves in the new year he will have lost his "edge". This is because he has been told not to make gratuitously obscene remarks, and to swear less. I think the BBC should go the whole hog and make him present the Daily Service in order to earn his money. I still can't understand why it is regarded as side-splittingly hilarious for somebody to ask an interviewee about his or bodily functions or sexual practices, or to utter the words ---- and ---- a lot. But perhaps it is proof of Ross's genius that he convinced his paymasters that it was.
