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:
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
