Bravo, FOG: bullfighting makes me ill. It seems like a hangover from bear baiting. Matadors are so brave and wonderful, why not have at each other? It would be at least a little more honest, to place the mindset back into the Circus Maximus.

With a bloody defiant shake of its head Channel 4's series on bullfighting finally died. Six glorious weeks of gradual wearing down of its readers indifference led to its timely dispatch from our screens. Pomp and circumstance ended in its ears being cut off and sent to the director general of BBC1. Music passion and belief in honour could not save the bull. It just couldnt get its fuckin' head round the fact that it was playing a leading role in one of the oldest reomantic cultural plays in human history. It couldn't even understand it when the band played. It looked around in terrified bemusement at the baying hordes and asked as the so-called brave matador dodged his last desperate raise of the head. So this is honour Amigos?
