Andrew Marr in Fashion Icon shock

B. is watching Andrew Marr's entertaining history of Britain on BBC 2. And Marr, remarkably, unbelievably, steals the historian fashion crown with a skinny, pink, possibly merino, zip-down polo shirt. Has he been inspired by Anthony Eden's natty dressing? Eat that, Tristram Hunt.

Update: Marr's wardrobe continues to cause ripples -

I thought Mr Andy's symphony in pink was pure genius. Call me shallow - and, oddly, many of you have - but it is hard to make a programme about The History of Modern Britain interesting, however much he prances from foot to foot. (Ask Hadley, The Guardian)
