The subject of episode one of British Style Genius was high-street shopping, a topic about which it is hard to be revelatory. We are all experts in this field. It did, however, include extremely rare, once-in-a-decade footage of Kate Moss talking. It's a bit like when a birdwatcher finally hears the Resplendent Quetzal sing: inevitably there's an anticlimax.

The not inconsiderable number of people who've fantasised about one day seeing Alastair Campbell in a prison cell got their wish last night, though the stay was a lot shorter than they might have wanted. Then again, his brief spell inside may have softened the hostility of his enemies a little, because Campbell was revisiting the site of the worst night of his life, the evening when he suffered a nervous breakdown and was temporarily banged up as a danger to himself and, possibly, others.

Campbell, found in a condition of deranged anxiety in a hotel lobby, celebrated his arrival in the police station cell by taking all his clothes off, and, when the sergeant asked him whether he'd like a drink, ordering a bottle of the establishment's finest champagne.
