It is astonishing that you didn’t mention Theodore Holtz, once Fey’s business partner and the man who daydreamed the first fruit machine. Invented by two Germans – no wonder fruit machines are so bloody boring!

I watched “Homeland” too and I enjoyed it but perhaps not as much as “Inside Men” on Thursdays. I don’t like having to make mental notes to remind myself to watch episodic programmes. In that respect, it’s bad enough being an “EastEnders” fan.
