Currently listening to the Woods translation on audio book read by David Rintoul, who sounds so like Roger Allam that it lends the whole thing an air of The Thick of It, which I wasn't expecting

Oh no! So sorry to hear this. I've taken so much from the show - a real highlight of the week. You've been a brilliant curator and presenter, with some really memorable interviews as well as countless hours of wonderful music.

I was sitting in the window seat of the Pret on Piccadilly a couple of years ago when he walked past - absurdly beautiful and charismatic, seemed to warp time around him so we were all for a moment in his Terry and Julie London. RIP
