Halloween, Hollywood style! Hailey Bieber, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, and Christina Aguilera get into a spooky mood Now, having kids of my own, I weep for us all. To send a child to live away from home at the age of 11 may be forgivable in some circumstances, but not in most. To send a child 40 minutes down the road to the Sidcot of the 1970s was – sorry, Mum – a crime.

Strictly's Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell still appear in top spirits as they arrive for another exhausting nine-hour rehearsal ahead of week six Justin’s relationship to Bath is complex, but he feels a close connection to his home city. “My own circumstances were grim and that colours your memories of a place, but actually I have a huge affection for the city which I will have until my dying day. There are a lot of ghosts that I see when I walk around Bath and not all of them are happy ones. But you feel a sense of belonging to a place where you spent all of your young life. It’s a love hate thing, and an enormous pull which possibly I wouldn’t have if my early experiences were less intense.” Above: Justin Webb presenting the Today programme This manifested itself in a form of advanced paranoia, for example, by throwing out all the milk in the household because Charles feared it had been ‘tampered with’ by an unknown poisoner. I am no Albert Camus. My circumstances were not as poor as those of the great French writer, nor my successes as great (to put it mildly) but Camus’ famous letter to his former teacher when he received the Nobel Prize for Literature always puts me in mind of Mr Bell. ‘Without you,’ he wrote, ‘without the affectionate hand you extended to the small poor child that I was, without your teaching and example, none of all this would have happened.’ They later married, though Webb writes: ‘I have no idea how their relationship began or how it ended in marriage. There are no photos of the wedding.’Young, Debbie; Webb, Justin (2014). Coming to Terms with Type 1 Diabetes: One Family's Story of Life After Diagnosis. Hawkesbury Press. ISBN 9781476730196. Gordon was working in a small healthcare company (she is now head of health at Virgo, a health PR company). They moved to Brussels in 1998, where Webb was Europe correspondent, and where their twins were born. In 2001 they moved to the States, where Webb became the BBC’s chief Washington correspondent, and later North America editor. In its new foreword, Webb, presenter of Radio 4’s Today programme and a host of the podcast Americast, says Cooke would have been dismayed by both major political parties in 2023. Gloria waited until her son was eight to point out, casually, that the man on TV was his father. After that, the subject was not discussed. The man who now asks questions for a living understood as a boy that his job was to repress them. “I repressed everything,” he says. Webb himself did not celebrate either his 18th or his 21st birthdays. ‘I did nothing. I had a pretty strange, eccentric and frankly not a very happy childhood. And I’m so pleased that my children have had a different kind of upbringing.’

If I had ever thought about it, I would have yearned for actual, genuine privilege: for a home with two loving parents and a life in a nice comprehensive school like the one my wife went to, where all the children of the lecturers at the local university formed their own cosy group and holidayed together before gliding off effortlessly to other top universities. If I had ever thought about it, I would have yearned for actual, genuine privilege: for a home with two loving parents and a life in a nice comprehensive school like the one my wife went to Controversial Little Britain sketch where David Walliams says Asian character 'smells of soy sauce' is 'racist and outdated', research saysWho has the happiest voice on radio? It has to be Justin Webb. The longest-serving presenter on the Today programme always sounds cheerful, no matter how grim the news.

In September 1972, I became a pupil at the Quaker-run, fee-paying school Sidcot House in Somerset, a few miles south of Bristol Joe Jonas pushes hisdaughters around New York in a fairytale carriage after reaching temporary custody agreement with Sophie Turner I’ve always liked Webb on the radio. But I like him much more after reading this book. He offers precisely the kind of brisk honesty and considered analysis he expects from his interviewees.
