SATURDAY Marcus Brigstocke's Early Edition at the literature tent seemed to be pretty much everyone's main port of call first thing in the morning. This may have been due its proximity to the entrance and the coffee, wotevs, it was pretty funny sarky commentary on the morning's papers. Then we had Pimms at the Pimms Bus. It's amazing how good it is when its made by people who really...

Went down to London yesterday with a friend to see the recording of a new Radio 4 comedy show at the Drill Hall. It’s a chat show format hosted by Marcus Brigstocke where he has a guest and gets them to try things they’ve never tried before. His guest was Tim Brooke-Taylor of Goodies fame. It was free and very good fun. Tim had to order pizza, go to the gym, listen to rap music, eat...
