Can't find this in the online Daily Telegraph today but the print version has the following under its Olympic Diary:

Extract

"Danny Boyle's presentation of the green-and-pleasant first scene of his opening ceremony this week complete with a scale-model Glastonbury suggests the show will be more counter-culture than we dared to hope.

In some respects, however, the show promises to be traditional. The Daily Telegraph hears that the much-vaunted segment featuring NHS staff includes a 'Doctors and Nurses' sequence that is divided on old-fashioned gender lines. All the doctors are men and the nurses women, with organisers suggesting the division will make it easier for television audiences to get their heads around."

WAF? The concept that women can be doctors and men can be nurses is too difficult a concept for TV audiences to get their heads around?

Will they have a husbands and housewives section?
Along with a traditional nuclear family?
