QI
To the London Studios to watch a recording of QI which I believe is for transmission later this autumn. I haven’t been to a TV recording for years, and when I realised that I was going to have to leave work at six, I did consider that they might be recording two shows over the…

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
The other day, I mentioned this piece about the writing of a book called The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. Well, on Monday evening I paid a trip to Waterstones to try to find it. First stop was the large 3 for 2 tables that most people seemingly don’t get past. No luck. None…
