Do you record World Service TV last Thursday?

Those obsessed readers who look at Political Blogs on Fridays will have noted that one of the columnists here - Garbo, who writes The Poliblogs roundup every day - appeared on TV as a pundit last Friday. As he says:

Last night my interview on BBC World went out live to the world. It was all very fun. I was interviewed by Johnathan Charles about the political blogosphere’s reaction to Gordon Brown’s signing of the EU Refrom Treaty.

I think I did ok - though did not say exactly with I’d have liked to have said and my journey home was full of l’esprit de l’escalier. Hopefully next time (!) I will be more ready for it all having got in a bit of practice!

The graphic boffins at the BBC put together a brilliant montage of the site set to music prior to me going on, which made the site look very exciting!

[Editorial europhile pedant's note: Les Escaliers?]

The broadcast went out at 7:30pm last Thursday (13th December) at around 7:30pm.

If you happened to record that channel at that time and caught the interview in a form that can be sent to Garbo and/or me, please would you make a comment here or over at Garbo’s blog.

Thanks.

Matt, your pedantry has not gone unnoticed! However, I still think I am right with “l’escalier”…

Even TV personalities cannot get away with quoting Denis Diderot on here.

I expect Sartre at least.

Which throws up interesting questions about pseudonymity.

Perhaps I am really a spider plant.
