"Last night, Nicholas showed you how to make a tit of yourself on television without pipe cleaners or sticky-backed plastic. Some of you have contacted us to say that it made you uncomfortable watching it. We've decided that we've let you down. And now over to the Blue Peter Garden where Gethin and Tim are going to kiss."
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.
