News person. The usual stuff.

He returned to the BBC in 1993 and in addition to reading TV's One O'Clock News for six years, he also presented editions of Assignment, Correspondent, Panorama and Call Ed Stourton, a phone-in programme on Radio 4. After switching to Radio 4's Today in 1999, he was contracted to present 110 shows a year, which he considered a perfect number. Broadcasting, he said, "should be like having sex - you should do it 2.5 times a week".

It's an evening in late March and in the kitchen I'm listening to a short piece of choral music, when my son comes in to fetch himself a bowl of breakfast cereal which, he tells me, helps with his revision. And another thing, he goes on, I shouldn't worry about him because he's going to be fine: exams, work, life, everything, is going to be fine. That's a relief, I say to myself, thanks, now I can listen to this music, which turns out to be just some fancy noise, nothing compared with a boy's cheerfulness.

Sunday, 22 February Everyone gave me drinks on my birthday and Dennis rang me at the bar and sang Happy Birthday' and I got cables and cards etc. That Jafa made overtures but I just had me shoes cleaned. I fixed to go with Omar who took me to the flat in the Casbah for the tradeola, 20d all in. Back to Blow Up for drinks. Then I had to have more - this time Omar & Mohammed & me à trois back to the same flat. All very pleasant and they got me back to the hotel at 4 o'c. in the morning. I've certainly never had a birthday like it before - in my life!
