More Cheltenham Literary Festival activities

I hope this snap shows how bright and colourful Cheltenham looked this morning for the literary festival.
We went to a talk called “The Art of the Political Interview”. Peter Hennessy (journalist and historian) ran the session with the political interviewer for The Times,  Rachel Sylvester, Wilf Frost who talked about his father’s (David)  mastery  of interviewing  with accompanying TV clips, and Justin Webb of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme was also on the stage. All the speakers were interesting to hear and illustrated the talk with anecdotes about interviews they had held, fascinating and entertaining (There is a new book out about David Frost’s interviews by Neil Hegarty, which my brother is now getting for his Birthday!)
