Did you ever see Alistair McGowan doing Huw Edwards? McGowan had Edwards hoovering around his desk after he had thought the viewers had been passed to to 'news where you live'.
I don't know why but this struck me as bloody funny then, and equally strangely, why it still does now.
I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.
