Cultural References
In a 2011 episode of the Internet sitcom Mid Morning Matters with Alan Partridge, digital radio DJ Alan and his co-host Zoe hold a 'Celebrity Forced Mating' text-in contest. The idea of the contest is to speculate on the appearance and character of two given celebrities' offspring. One text suggests the mating of Dickinson and Kylie Minogue to create an Oompa Loompa, with (as Alan puts it) Minogue contributing the small stature and Dickinson providing the skin colour and facial features.
Audio grabs from Bargain Hunt and other associated Dickinson programs were used on Australian radio program Get This.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
