Tonight we ask: Why hasn't Dan Quail been assasinated? Is there a conspiracy not to shoot him? Why does our graphics department keep putting in silly question marks?
"I'll always remember what I was doing that day. The news came over the radio: Dan Quail was still alive. I just broke down and wept..."
Look at this photo of the Grassy Knoll. This blurred splodge can mean only one thing; Dan Quail must have taken this photo. This photo was taken by a more intelligent person. The man on the left is a CIA agent. He has a gun. Why hasn't he shot the little squirt?

Clochemerle (1972)
An excellent, but forgotten, comedy classic
Clochemerle, a poor sleepy French village in the Beaujolais, gets involved in the midst of controversy, scandal and political intrigue for the rather unlikely reason of the erection of a public urinal in the town square, to the delight of the the men in the town, but the bane of one elderly religious residents existence. When a Child of Mary becomes pregnant, the urinal and the 'loose moral values' that it apparently brings to the town are blames, which in turn leads to the destruction of a statue in the church, leading to a war between the secularist Republicans, the Church, the aristocracy, the French Government and the Army.
One of the funniest comedies ever, with the best 'corridors of power' scene in the history of television ('We can't ignore it, the insurance man gave it too us'). I remember that it was so risqué in 1972 it had to be shewn at 11 o'clock at night. It is, therefore, unfortunate that this shew is no longer remembered, and has not been released on either VHS or DVD to the best of my knowledge, and has only been repeated on television once.
