We’ve had our election but cor blimey what’s the result? As I write no one really knows and the scenarios are numerous and varied, as the pound plummets and a grey cloud hangs over Britain. But I must say that after a bleary night watching the returning officers read out their results, my real enjoyment came from that solid, veteran broadcaster David Dimbleby. I interviewed him years ago and slightly fell in love way back then, but felt it rekindle last night with his dry wit, sharp brain and incredible screen juggling skills. Our David may be 71 but he managed to anchor the BBC’s election coverage for 18 hours, long after I’d collapsed in a heap and struggled up to bed. And there he is still looking fresh and fragrant today, a full 18 hours later, quite an extraordinary feat for a man who doesn’t snort coke, take speed or gobble slabs of chocolate.
Dimbleby has been a lynch pin in the BBC’s election team and frankly he’s the best thing about it.
I just love him, not to mention his vast array of colourful ties
