Really fed up with ITV News. I did a pre-recorded interview in which I expressed strong scepticism about the 'coffee only good in the morning' story. But they cut all that out, leaving me apparently supporting their credulous story. I really should not be so naive.

rss.org.uk/news-publication/… This is very sad news that Henry Wynn has died. He was an unforgettable character, a powerful thinker and a genial and entertaining conversationalist. He will be sadly missed.
