Eddie Mair: Mo Of The Moment

Never mind all the stuff about what the interview revealed. The photos revealed something very shocking to me.
What in my mind was my discreet but manageable bald spot is in fact the size of a dinner plate.
Only the over-the-shoulder TV camera angle could tell me this and, what's worse, it was then relayed in every newspaper in the land.
As for all the hullabaloo... For the record, I don't want Jeremy's job. Or John's. Or Andrew's. I like mine.
Though my contract is up soon and I haven't heard anything, so if you run a radio or TV station and you think there's a future for a 47-year-old in a bad wig - call my agent.

Eddie Mair writing in his Radio Times column, and quoted in the Daily Mail.
How great it would be to see our Eddie isn't afflicted by the modern sickness of ambition. 

Some highlights from the Mail message board.

"In a political job in the BBC, get the better of a top Tory and does not take long to get to the top" - Mick, East Midlands.

"Another mad Marxist we have to pay for" - Scott, Sunderland.

"Did the aforesaid Mr Mair have a private agenda against Boris that was his real reason for the vitriol ?????? Advert on the side of a bus ring any bells ?????????????????? I just wonder !!" - Jolly Roger, Wales.

Well, it's certainly something to think about...
