On my way into the office to record this week’s podcast on a story I’ve written on the rise and rise Danish sperm donors. (The Vikings are coming etc etc). Guess how many sperm donors the UK’s ‘biggest’ sperm bank has? Almost none 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

I interviewed the amazing Dr Meenakshi Choudhary, who was working on the 'three-people babies' for the last episode of my podcast in 2020. Completely fascinating and she explains it clearly here

Not sure how Kirsty Young will top her speech from the end of the late Queen’s funeral coverage but she has been MAGNIFICENT today. Get that woman a hot bath and an early bed.

Terrific talking heads around this evening. This chap just said that his family is ‘only 1000 years old’

I see the words “I asked ChatGPT to…” and I immediately stop reading. Brain shuts off and eyes fully glaze over. Couldn’t even read the rest of your boring post if I wanted to

Terrific scene in Waterstones just now where a woman was demanding to know why this wasn’t signed by the king. ‘But it says signed by the author!’ (Cc )

Colin From Accounts is as lovely as everyone says! Funny, charming and a dog in a cone. What more do you want? Starstruck energy but, dare I say, even better. On iPlayer
