Anti Tory My Dear Watson?
The following appeared for less than 1 second during the last episode of 'Sherlock'. People watching in HD who paused a fake newspaper read...
// “A new plan by the current Mayor of London to turn the Thames into a bustling water-bound version of the M25 has hit rush-hour traffic as reaction has been damper than a dip in the rat-infested drink.
“The hair-brained scheme involved chartering disused boats, paying for their conversion into a version of London's famous bus, the Routemaster, but this plan has already foundered after pilot schemes revealed that customers were walking straight off the boat and into the icy currents of the Thames.
“When asked to explain how the system might move forward, or even be profitable, or perhaps even to explain the point, the Mayor, who was at a self-promotion event, was found to be dithering, incoherent, and self-interested.
“He said, "Well the fact of the matter is that Londoners need to recognise our great naval history, rather than naval gazing, and this will get the traffic moving while invoking memories of Nelson and the like.
Huzzar!" //
A bit of fun, or Boris bashing by the Beeb?

Whoever went to the trouble to enter a fictional report on a page of a fictional newspaper, so that some might watch this in HD and then go to the trouble to freeze frame the scene, so as to read what it said, must be very desperate to get their own particular political point over.

When I worked up in Town during the late 80's, there was just such a scheme in operation, using catamarans, called the River Bus.
I have just found this by googling River, Bus and Thames :::

Sounds like an excellent idea myself.

Well, as usual, some will take offence at anything, things like this often happen. Try pausing the old Simpsons startup cartoons you will find a reference to the NRA on the till!
But, it is not wise for the lefty-liberal BBC (who should be impartial) to be broadcasting something like this. You would think they would be a bit more careful.

animators have long put gags into single frames of cartoons which have been visible only to the sharp eyed or those with their own projectors - imagine Betty Boop going commando.
These days it's expected that nerds with HDTV will examine every frame of everything in order to post stuff on imdb, and production designers will often throw them morsels like this to keep them interested.
