The journey wasn’t without dramas… Myself, the editor Damien Smith and all the recording equipment set off from head office in Chelsea in plenty of time in his trusty BMW. However, within a mile of traffic the car was hot, very, very hot in fact and it soon came to a grinding halt. After a brief panicked phone call to my brother Will, I deserted the editor at Shepherd’s Bush and ran to my brother’s car (a surprisingly brilliant Ford Mondeo ST220) that he very kindly lent me.
