For some reason I was thinking of something with a loud beat, like dance music maybe.

Same with all the Christmas number 1 pop videos.
Everyone is wrapped up in jumpers and scarves in a heatwave.

What next? Jules Holland isn't really a charismatic cheeky musician but a bit of a smarmy git?

I don't know what the big deal is with Jules Holland. He's not even a multi instrumentalist.
The attraction isn't Jules, it is his guests.

I share your misgivings about his actual talent. But.
He’s filling a fairly niche role that requires someone with enough credibility to attract the performers but not too much star power to over shadow them. A big star wouldn’t be bothered to do what he does.
He also has decades of TV presenting experience and seems like a good raconteur. So is a safe pair of hands.

Jules Holland's band was hired for the Southampton uni graduation ball down in Portsmouth in summer '95, supposedly it used up a vast majority of the ball budget.
I was horrified when I read that the his New Year tv show was recorded in the summer.
Only recently found out he was in the group Squeeze... I live a sheltered life!

Up The Junction, the track of a lot of people's lives I would guess. Difford and Tilbrook were quite imaginative songwriters.

It’s not recorded in the summer, it’s usually mid December.
He wasn’t in Squeeze for very long.

I heard on a podcast that judges in English courts, when asking about a cultural phenomenon (e.g.Love Island), are not doing so because they are out of touch, but because the judgement could be referred to as case law many decades hence, and so it is to provide a reference point for the future

In any court, the judge is responsible for making sure that any arguments advanced are understandable (by the jury, for example).
That said, the Crown Court, which is where most judges sit, has very limited scope for creating case law.
