Yes, sorry but I only found out about it at 10 pm myself. And I was in such a hurry to post that I got the programme wrong - it was Question Time not Panorama.

You didn’t miss much. Also on the panel was Peter Tatchell, Anne Widdicombe (there’s a combination!) and Clive James. They more or less monpolised the discussion, Terry got to say very little.

However you probably already know that the new Pratchett (Night Watch) is due out simultaneously in the UK and the US on 7 November.

Terry could take a bullet for Sean Connery and no one would be any the wiser (obviously Mr. Pratchett would take umbrage.

Ann Widdecombe is a bloody nuisance on Q-Time, Honestly when other people were talking she would look at them and make funny noises and mutter under her breath.
