Dr Runcie does not favour the ordination of women, and how right he is: women priests mean the end of Christianity as we have known it. The lady he met who had been ordained in the American Church had frizzed permed hair and pink lipstick, which hardly seemed to me to be priestly.

My own contender for the lemon is Tenko, the grotesquely-scripted saga of a group of women prisoners of the Japanese, which most of us watched for the first week or two to see if they showed the rape scenes in full colour.

'Flag-flying is a blatantly sexist phallic ritual,' spokesman for the Women's Action Group, Mrs Di Cleary, said. 'The symbolism of raising and lowering the flag once a day is quite obvious.'

You may have noticed we had two women in our team this week. Next week we will be back to normal.
