Disappointing news

I know you have been waiting news on my impending TV appearance following the recording made at the end of April.

Well, yesterday I received a call from the producer that the BBC, and due to the high volume of material they recorded for the show, my interview will not be used. Zoe appologised and said it was good, but with just an hour it was difficult to know what to leave out.

Oh well, fame eludes me once again.
