‘Minor really, but years ago I saw some cookery show where the presenter ate a big spoon of apple and mango crumble from a dish straight out of the oven.. ‘Oh that’s lovely’ she mumbled, through a clearly burned mouth.

‘This is a really, really niche one. It was from some fly on the wall show Katie Price and Peter Andre did years ago. They’re in the back of a car and he’s talking about investments he’s made, like a gym somewhere, and then he looks straight into the camera and says “As well as other properties.” Pure David Brent.’

‘That guy giving a news interview about how safe the road was, despite all the concerns raised. Mid-interview, a car veers off the road and a pile-up ensues. Classic.’
