JK, you have just reminded me of a letter sent in from a member of the public to a free newspaper I was reading on a train many years ago. I found it so hilarious that I have kept it to this day. I must point out that the years of entertainment given to me by this are at the expense of the writer and his bizarre and inappropriate outburst, and not the Beverley Sisters, who I am sure have entertained millions.
"What the hell did the Beverley Sisters get MBEs for? These three, the only living cases of rigor mortis known to science, have punished British audiences with their crappy stage acts, ugly looks and awful singing for decades. Surely they should be advertising the pro-euthanasia movement, not getting awards for torture."
WTF, as the youth of today would say.
Terry Goldsmith from London, I have finally named and shamed you!

OK I'm old but they were delightful and Billy Wright (who married Joy) was the David Beckham of the time.
Sadly my enjoyment was marred by Max Bloody Clifford popping up for no good reason.
Forget The Spice Girls - for us 50s kids, they were the tops!
Delicious programme but slice Clifford onto the cutting room floor before giving it prime time BBC1 please.
