Browne of the two hats

Brilliant piece on Double-Jobsworth Browne on the new series of Bremner Bird & Fortune on Channel 4 as we speak. If you missed it, try Channel 4 +1 at 2000 this eve, Sun - it's about 5 mins into the programme.

Or to quote Yes, Minister


"Wearing two hats is not difficult for those who are in two minds. Or have two faces."

It was a great part of a great programme - how can a bloke who used to look like Trust-me-Tone suddenly look like Broon and/or Swiss Des...


Brings a whole new meaning to the epithet Brown(e)hatter.......

Fantastic, wasn't it? I gather past (and probably present) incumbents of Number 10 quailed at the accuracy of the sketches. I liked the Hazel Blears one - I only have to hear that woman's awful whiney "I know better than you" voice to get to the off button in double quick time.

Chant "two hats" over and over again, fast. I find one gets a perfect description of him and his polli mates.

Flipping hilarious! It was all we were talking about today in the office. And winding up the sad saps that missed it. Wonder what General George Parr made of it?
