For the uninitiated, what can you tell us about This Time?
It’s what’s known as a magazine show, bottling all of the magic of magazine reading and translating that into 30 minutes of TV. Some people sneer at magazines. But imagine a world without magazines, with readers having to make do with books, newspapers and letters. A chilling prospect.

His campaign last month resulted in the government backtracking to announce free meals for disadvantaged English children over the Christmas holidays, as happens in Scotland. In the summer, he successfully got the UK Government to provide free school meals during the holidays.
