Nick Clarke, presenter of The World At One on BBC Radio 4, has written an incisive essay on the ill-effects of reality television and the related issues of our obsessive celebrity fixation; the blurring of fact and fiction in contemporary culture; the dumbing-down of that culture; the hyping-up of its language; etc.

Did you find Clarke's essay a bit depressing? (If you didn't, read it again!) Sorry. For a breath of fresh air, have a look at this wonderful 360-degree photograph, taken a couple of days ago by Roderick Mackenzie from the top of Mt. Everest.
