Radio 4 Today Programme Guest Editor (28 Dec 2010) 
Each year, the Today
programme hands over the editorial reins to five public figures, giving
them a chance to decide what goes on the programme between Christmas

and reporters.

structure of our brains dictate our political inclinations. Also in his
programme, Rupert Everett on homophobia in Hollywood and John Humphrys
and Dame Edna Everage reunited.
