No offence to the folically challenged, but there's something inherently funny about wigs, the subject of this week's picture feature. You see them in the windows of joke shops and you wear them to parties. Toddlers, whenever they put them on their heads, invariably burst out laughing. With almost equal certainty, a wig is always obviously a wig. It's a very lucky man who succeeds in making it look as if it really is his hair, and not something that's landed on his head from outer space. Or in the case of judges, something from a very, very long time ago. The pictures in this set were taken in Brighton, London and Bournemouth.
