Olympics 2012: peals of laughter as Jeremy Hunt loses his bell end

As the nation came together to ring in the London Olympics on Friday, culture secretary Jeremy Hunt dropped an unfortunate clanger when the end of his bell fell off. Is it too early to call it "bellendgate"? Fortunately for Hunt it narrowly missed a woman standing nearby. "My goodness me are you all right?" asked the Olympics minister, putting the "camp" into campanology. "Health and safety!" As Hunt said himself said on Twitter, it was a "classic 2012 moment". Yet again the fictional calamities of the BBC sitcom are put in the shade by the unpredictabilities of real life. Where's Adam Smith when you need him?
