Defending MC Nuts

A couple of weeks ago Have I Got News For You had great fun with Cumbria Tourism's new attempt to promote the Lake District. This involved having the rapper MC Nuts dress up as Squirrel Nutkin to deliver a rap version of Wordsworth’s Daffodils.

Besides, I am very fond of the Divine Comedy's settings of the Lucy poems.
