As unbelievable as it sounds someone with my knowledge, experience, contacts, tenaciousness, nice hair, irritability and ambidexterity (not to mention my brief flirtation with Marxism) has never worked for Britain’s redoubtable public news broadcaster, the BBC. Although I had umpteen interviews I never managed to get further than a ‘lovely to meet you and here’s the door, whack job’ .
Anyway like anyone who has ever done a bungee jump and hasn’t had the chord snap, I have no regrets. Just death wishes. However, one thing the BBC excels at is blandness. Now news is news, you might insist, no need to dress it up. But, when you have a million headlines a day from Aunty Beeb that are less interesting than brown shoe polish I do wish that they would inject a little meta amphetamines into their headlines instead of stuff like “Jersey man sues over fall”. They should so get like Perez Hilton to write them.
