I bring glad tidings of great joy to my flock of sheep. Thought For The Day will continue in its present form! You realise what this means? Yes, Platitude Of The Day will also continue in its present form.

I knew that the good, noble, principled, unelected people of the BBC trust would not let me down. In similar light, we can expect Prayer For The Day, BBC Scotland TFTD and Pause For thought, all to continue to intrude in their respective programmes.

I hope you will all join me in my campaign to introduce TFTD into the Channel 4 7 o'clock news (a bastion of liberalism and political correctness if ever there was one). We can add it to Match of the Day and to Watchdog, where we can here about consumer affairs from a Faith Perspective. The sky really is the limit from now on.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
