Many years ago, I was watching a late evening chat show on BBC North East. The initial programme had guests on to talk about their new show at the Theatre Royal, but earlier that day there had been the minor disgreement that was the seizure of the USA embassy in Tehran. That was discussed on one side between a baying mob of rent-a-gob Iranian students clutching copies of various booklets of The The Thoughts of Chairman Khomeini, and on stage the heavily refreshed pair of, er, Jimmy Edwards and Eric Sykes.
