Lachrimae

Right. Now you've got that new diary, here's a date: Today presenter John Humphrys in conversation with one of his former editors, Phil Harding, at the Media Society, 1830, Wednesday 15th January.

Phil was in charge of Today when John was a mere stripling, heading to his fiftieth year. I saw him over the festive period, and challenged him to make John cry, a la Piers Morgan. We thought "money" might do it - then I remembered the sight of John's face one morning at 0430 when he came in for a shift by mistake. Real tears.
