...between lunching with Lord Patten and filming BBC docu’s, entertaining kiddies is just about putting on a good show. Strut your stuff in that projector limelight and you’ve got their admiration for life. It’s nice to have their adoring faces gazing up at you, hanging on your every word. I only wish they wouldn’t pop in and out the lecture hall at will—it’s not in the script! This never happened at Oxford...
