Fair representation | The new PPE | Bad films | Jilly Cooper and University Challenge | Panettone french toast

Julian Sharpe says that while at least 700,000 people attend services at Anglican churches in England each week, around 800,000 people also attend a professional football match in England each week (Letters, 7 October). It sounds as though there is a case for the Football Supporters’ Association, like the Church of England, to have representatives in the House of Lords.David HeadMalmesbury, Wiltshire

I agree that further education has lacked support in the UK (Starmer’s further education plans augur well, but the policy detail will be telling, 30 September). I suggest that we start to combine further and higher education, locating them together and including technical training in academic work and vice versa. Perhaps politics, plumbing and economics could become a new PPE.Robert EastLondon

Until you have seen Zardoz directed by John Boorman in 1974 and starring Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling, then you have no idea just how bad a film can be (Bad movies: is Ridley Scott right to say that 60% of films stink?, 6 October).Pete WolstencroftThornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire

The final University Challenge question on 6 October was unfinished and unanswered. It was about Jilly Cooper, who died the previous day (Obituary, 6 October). What an immaculate coincidence.Nicholas Q GoughSwindon, Wiltshire

Leftover panettone also makes excellent french toast (Letters, 7 October). Dip in beaten egg, fry, drizzle with maple syrup.Caroline EwansLondon
