I just got back from PNG when the BBC phoned me and asked me to come in to the BBC studios to be interviewed about the lucky recovery of three Brits (the foreigners are of no interest to the BBC) from Komodo. I put on a clean shirt and went in the car they sent fort me. It was to be a live interview for the early evening News programme.
Alas, some woman called Clinton decided at that exact moment to say she was no longer applying for some job somewhere, and that (through clenched teeth) the other guy should get it.
It blew my spot on the News. However, I was on Radio Five live at 5.30pm if you were listening.
(No it was not an item on how a man can talk out of his ass!)
Nearly famous for 5 minutes!
