Britain's Got Talent, apparently

As if the programme itself didn't disprove the title - why would a country that possessed talent gather round to watch Piers Morgan instead - the depressing news that the Travelling Wilburys have gone into the album chart at number one would be enough to prove that, sorry, we don't.

The Wilburys project was creaking when it was new - like a group of blokes getting drunk at a barbecue and deciding to release their singalong as a record, complete with a faux backstory which might just have been worth doing had the men not been amongst the most famous on earth. But for the grim joshing to have a second run at throttling the life out the charts suggests that, actually, there is a God, and boy, is he pissed at us.
