10th September, 2025.
It’s got to be said: I’ve got the Today programme on, in the background.
And?
They’ve had an especially snotty interview with a police representative.
Lot’s of cross-purpose talking, denials, accusations.
What have you.
I keep hoping the interviewee is going to get especially snotty at the interviewer.
In those circumstances? I always think of this scene from Good Omens: where a spokesperson for a nuclear power plant gets seriously snotty with a BBC journalist.
And?
I think Sir Terry outlined that scene … after encountering a really aggressive BBC journalist, when he was the press spokesmen for the Central Electricity Generating Board, a spokesman for at least three nuclear power plants.
He was on record as saying he’d like to write about his time working for them … if he thought anyone would believe it …
I suspect he was sorely tempted, sometimes: or, at least, tempted enough to write that one passage …
