The Irish girl on the Moonpig adverts. And I usually hate Irish accents.

There was a classic example on "The Daily Politics' the other week, where Michael Portillo got round the problem by simply not looking at her.

I thought Michael Portillo got round the problem by virtue of batting for the other side. Or was that all in the past?

He was, last time I looked, on the list of famous bisexuals.

Anyway, you know you're in trouble when you have a secret crush on Michael Portillo. (For the avoidance of doubt: Not me!)

Dr Suzannah Lipscomb is the current favourite. Bit of an annoyingly posh voice, but no bloke actually listens to what she's saying.

History fans will no doubt be aware already that Dr Lipscomb's new series, Hidden Killers Of The Post War Home, starts on Wednesday. BBC4, 20:00.

According to this TV listings magazine she's a vegetarian chiz.

Florence in Death in Paradise.

Whilst one certainly cannot deny the attractions of young Florence (desperately trying not to make any "boing!" Magic Roundabout references) it was her predecessor Camille, who I found utterly enchanting to the extent that I consider her to be possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen on TV. Her characterisation was brilliant, too.

It was not too much of a secret crush at home, Mrs W almost had to provide a dribble guard for me, for when I was watching her on Death in Paradise!

Well, yes. Is this not universally true?

She's starting to look more and more like Keith Richards, if that's a true likeness...

Actually, lets add Keef to my list.
