But... bloke update. Well, he's Scottish, he's a lawyer, he's rather handsome and he lives in Northampton. Which is a shame, but has charms of its own. I grew up near there so I get to point at places and go "I went sledging on that hill when I was eight with friends from school. Christopher Price's mother offered us all cigarettes." I think this makes me endearing and whimsical.

"Well, none, really. Just talking."
"Just talking? Like a phone in?"
"Well, not all the time. You know, news and current affairs."
"So is it just politicians and housewives shouting?"
"And some comedy. And a soap opera about a farm."
"Right."
"And you have really never heard of it?"
"Given the breathtaking array of content you've just described, can you think of a single reason why I should have?"
".... well, no."
