Hospitality declarations for the three months at the end of last year give us a flavour of the interests of Nadine Dorries and her DCMS sidekick Lord Parkinson.
Nadine had lunch with Rebekah Brooks of News UK, dinner and a show (Harry Potter ?) with tv producer Sir Colin Callendar, and breakfast with Roland Rudd of Finsbury PR. She went to an unnamed Sonia Friedman production, England's 1-1 draw with Hungary at Wembley, had another dinner with UK Music (was this for Michael Bolton at the Royal Albert Hall ?), and enjoyed tickets for the Barbican on 2nd November (either Anything Goes or An Evening with Holly Willoughby).
Lord Parkinson took in a Philip Glass opera about Gandhi at ENO, Tosca at the Royal Opera House, Turnage's take on Arsenal v Liverpool at the Barbican, Dick Whittington at the Greenwich Theatre, the opening night of James Graham's Best of Enemies at the Young Vic, and had dinners at the British Museum, the V&A and National Gallery.
All, for them, better than watching that struggling C4...
