Superb new series from Professor David Starkey Music and Monarchy on BBC2 this evening.
Watching it you can understand why he is one of our foremost academics and intellectuals.
It was even "pick of the day" in the Guardian.
Earlier on Dateline London the panel attempted to analyse why the monarchy is so popular. None of them really had a clue, which is reassuring as you can't destroy something you don't understand (except by accident). One idiot even said the monarchy was just celebrity culture.
Abdallah Homouda sounded as if he might be stumbling on the truth, but happily the others talked over him and didn't really let him speak.
