The return of the marshmallow woman

Missed Mahendra, but there was enough entertainment tonight without him, although it does seem slightly sacrilegious to say so.

Tsepiso Makwetla was dressed in a most peculiar confection. I know that it's cold at the moment, but I have also realised that no presenter anywhere, ever, no matter the temperature, should resort to wearing a polo-neck jersey. Poor Tsepiso resembled nothing so much as Mr and Mrs Twit, their health declining and their necks descending, as they succumbed to an attack of the dreaded shrinks.

But this wasn't all. On top of her basic black polo neck, Ms Makwetla wore a pink jacket, the hue of which can best be described as 'marshmallow'. If she were six-years-old, yes. If it were summer, and she were wearing a floaty, strappy dress to a garden party, perhaps. But not for the seven o'clock news, no.

PS - I do try to attend only to the most frivolous aspects of the news, but after watching tonight's bulletin, I feel I must add: Brett & Richard, RIP.
