Peter Bradshaw’s timely reminder about the re-emergence of Alan Partridge in Brexit Britain (The revenge of Alan Partridge, G2, 6 November) is underlined by the inclusion in recent TV schedules of such absurd real-life programmes as The Ganges with Sue Perkins and Gordon Ramsey on Cocaine, which might have been dreamed up by the great man in a previous television incarnation. Alan’s previous suggestions of Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank and Monkey Tennis are surely now ripe for production.

• Why no mention in Monday’s Guardian Sport of the UK record of going undefeated in 63 matches that Celtic achieved at the weekend? As a Scottish reader of the Guardian for over 50 years I am used to Scottish sport taking a back seat in the paper, but to break a 100-year-old record surely deserves at least a short article.

• Archie Norman says M&S must stop targeting the over-55s and pull in the thirtysomethings (Report, 6 November). My impression of this frumpdump is oversized, overpriced, unimaginative items in harsh, unwearable colours. I’m 72.

• Is there a Greek term like oligarchy/democracy/theocracy etc for “government by dirty old men”? Could any classicists out there come up with one for the times we live in?
