Social media found a new victim to slay last week. Woody Allen is “a paedophile, a predator”, “The guy’s a dirty old man, he married his adopted daughter when she was still a child”, “He shouldn’t get the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Oscars!” the Twitterati tattled.

In 140 characters they buried a man who’s created characters as immortal as Annie Hall, Danny Rose and Alvy Singer. The small blue screen dished out accusations against a master, who’s lit up the silver screen with 70 films in as many years.
