Hi, Hugh Dennis here, and a quick interruption from me to tell you about the 2020 BBC Radio

4 Christmas appeal with St Martin in the fields. For people experiencing homelessness, it's

a long journey to find home, but this Christmas you can help someone who feels lost to find

their way again. This year St Martin's has supported hundreds of rough sleepers in London

and awarded over 4,600 crisis grants to get people into accommodation and to provide

St Martin in the fields by donating online on the Radio 4 website. And whether you're

a long-standing donor or this is your first year, thank you.
