If you ever wondered why huge chunks of Channel 4's 10 O'Clock Live weren't very funny, it seems it may be because some of the jokes take around 16 months to fully mature. Take this darkly ironic sketch from Jimmy Carr who back in February 2011 critised the one per cent tax paid by Barclays Bank as an "ammoral scam"...
That is of course the same Jimmy Carr whose own offshore tax arrangement was exposed this week and branded "morally wrong" by David Cameron. Carr has subsequently apologised for what he called a terrible error of judgement.
