R.W. gave a good account of himself, I felt, certainly didn't stand out as being the new boy as some have in the past.

Brandreth? - I'm never quite sure that he is human at all. But oddly enough I heard a clip from an old recording of the late Derek Nimmo (sp?) on J.A.M. and felt his deliberately-contrived delivery might be something that Brandreth was aping when building his on-air persona.
