And the I'm going to do. So, Welcome to On the Record, we are the two mics. I'm Mike Graham and who are you?

I'm Mike Porky parry and this is as you quite

rightly say the two mics on the record. It is on the record. I don't say on the

record about exactly. It's on the record about issues that matter. Yeah.

and there are some very important issues around.

I must tell you actually, because you know I've been away.

A lot of people have been very complimentary about the new feature that we've done.

Yes, that's right.

The Porky Book Review.

Yes, absolutely.

I actually think, you know, because we are, you know, very serious journalists to be taken seriously,

I wonder, rather like the New York Review of Books,

whether it should rather than the Porky Book Review, it should be the Porky Review of books. Yes. Rather than the Porky review of books.

Well, maybe if you like, something like that.

Sounds better, doesn't it?

I mean, the point is all's ideas get the information over, however people want to package it up, is up to them.

But you read a lot of the books I read all the books I've got

piles of books at home I've got a mountain of books. People were being rather

dismissive of your theories on the opium wars. Really? Yeah well you know I

don't care I don't care I do more studying than they did they got an opinion on it they can have an opinion but they can stick it in a bike and smoke it

all right I like the feedback okay now listen I tell you what happened when you were across and you've been back a few days now but I never got the chance to talk to you about James Bond and the Danny Boyle situation.

Oh Danny Boyle's walks off isn't he?
