No Rock And Roll Fun

WE ALWAYS HATED THIS: Back when Richard Whitmore used to read the news, the BBC would give unfathomable amounts of airtime to the Edinburgh Military tattoo - squaddies running about with bits of cannon, highly trained dogs, marching etc. It's slipped further and further from prime time, probably because they've realised that it's the same dull drudge, year in, year out - and they never choose the sexy soldiers to roll about in the mud. To try and make it all funky, this year they're adding in the music of Westlife and Vangellis. Is this a good idea in a closed room of heavily armed people?
