Globelink News anchor snares surprise Question Time spot
Friday, 25 January 2008
It’s just struck me while watching Question Time that Sarah Sands, the “consulting editor” (whatever that means) of the Daily Mail is the reincarnation of Sally Smedley from Drop the Dead Donkey. Same clothes, same hairstyle, same jewellery, same voice, same disconcerting stare.

There was an especially awkward moment when fellow guest Alex James from Blur (who books these people?) called Sands “darlin’” after she mistakenly accused him of living in Gloucestershire. (I mean, imagine the horror!) “I live in Oxfordshire, darlin’” he sneered back. Seriously, it was like the summer of ‘95 all over again.
Next week they’re going to get Noel Gallagher on to call Polly Toynbee “sugar tits”. Probably.
