The #Dimbleby series on the monarchy for the BBC has been terrific. Right to raise the big issues, and driven by a marvellous performance from David: shrewd and sharp.

Excellent first episode of David Dimbleby's series on the monarchy. He's pretty critical of Charles over the famous spider letters. Did a touch of sibling rivalry with brother Jonathan (a pal of Charles) in the Dimbleby Dynasty play a role? bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m…

Last night I watched the first ep of #Whatsthemonarchyfor on @BBCOne with the legendary David Dimbleby (still a cheeky twinkle). A welcome return with a 3-parter on the Royals starting with the power they wield. Is the King as vocal as when he was Prince? Stellar guests too! 8/10

#Skint laid bare the truth about Britain's broken economy @Channel4, using statistics to devastating effect. Our performance has lagged well behind comparable countries. Sunak in this election simply offering more of the very prescriptions that have landed us in the current mess.
