The Guardian - TV & Radio blog (Free subscription) | 12 hours ago

Parody Singularity (8)
Mark Wadsworth (Free subscription) | 12/07/2009
Kirstie Allsopp in Saturday's Times : If I could do one thing this year it would be to persuade people that second-hand and home-made presents are not in any way second-rate. I have no concept that there is anything shameful about them. This may be because I was brought up seeing the worth in second-hand pieces because my father worked for Christie’s...
