Midweek

Yesterday morning I was due to be interviewed live on '

Midweek

', a superb Radio 4 chat programme listened to by almost 2 million people.

The studio was about 1 hour and 10 minutes from my home and I had to be there at 8.30am. At 7.17am I woke up, looked at the clock, and realised I had overslept! Yikes! At 7.25 I was on the train. At 8.29 I was at the BBC. God bless British Rail!
