Youve deployed an army of Mary Poppins impersonators to save a stadium full of sick kids from a stylised Jimmy Savile Child Catcher. Youve stuck a blow for gay rights across the globe and men who like watching pretty girls get off with each other by slipping Brooksides infamous lesbian kiss into a montage of British TV clips broadcast uncensored in authoritarian, homophobic regimes across the Middle East and also the USA .
