When Darcus met Joan

I started listening to Midweek yesterday. This is unusual in itself, as I generally find Libby Purves a bit shallow, luvvy and generally irritating. On top of this, three out of four of her guests -- Joan Rivers, Jackie Collins and Darcus Howe -- I find pretty unbearable, albeit each in their own special way.

But my interest was piqued by guest number four, plant photographer Andrea Jones, and I hung on in there until Darcus kicked in in his usual domineering ponderous style, at which point I said 'oh, shut *up*' and switched off the radio.

Wish I hadn't though, as it sounds like it all got a Lot More Interesting.
