I was excited to note in the television listings that there is a showing this afternoon of a remake of the 1977 film Raid on Entebbe, entitled Raid on N. Tebbit, in which a crack team of Mossad agents attempts to rescue hostages from the home of a deranged octogenarian ex-cabinet minister.

Readers may recall that the very same N. Tebbit was in the news a few years ago for attacking a child dressed in a dragon outfit.
