Radio Times: Roger McGough celebrates the return to our screens of the BBC's political editor after her summer recess.
It was more than a night actually but days and nights, for ir was a long journey in a windowless wagon on a crowded train. Just us and the child. Yours, I supposed, although it might have been your little sister.
As you slept, I tried to imagine the nightmares besetting you: Big Ben, the door of number 10, a youth gurning in the background. And the rain, light at first, turning heavy later in the day, with the promise of sunshine by the weekend.
On arrival, I wished you well, but wanted nothing in return. Saving you was enough. And your name, Like Tomasz Schafernaker, hard to say, difficult to spell. Please, no more running away. Without you, Politics and Weather would never be the same.
