We may be doing the programme from

Eddie Mair | 15:41 UK time, Monday, 23 July 2007

Westminster tonight because of the power problems at TVC (see "Oddly"). Decision due shortly.

1545 UPDATE: The engineers are working hard and think the patch-job that's holding everything together right now will hold. So we're staying at TV Centre.

1640 UPDATE: There is a plan. If the power goes off, I will go to the radio car that sits outside the window, and send a signal to Westminster who will broadcast the recorded bits of the show. Or something.

    Hope you get there safe and sound, Eddie!

    I'm sorry - I don't believe you, Its all a put up job to gain a bit of sympathy after last week. The photos don't show ´óÏó´«Ã½ staff , they are in fact randomly chosen members of the public who thought they were coming to a recording of Just A Minute.

    16:50 UPDATE

    There's a police chopper hovering outside as i type, and my river's risen several feet since last night, and there's more to come.

    So this listener may well also get into the waiting car outside and drive to westminster (or somewhere...!)

    I thoroughly approve of those UK middle and upper class lineages doing manual work in Africa (Cameron's African jolly jaunt) but why in Rwanda.

    Their responsibilities and how much they owe would be better met if they went to Zimbabwe, Kenya or Nigeria.

    And for a few weeks? No, for a few generations, as directed labour.

    How else (along with the rest of that ilk doing the manual work here) can those lineages properly repay their intergeneratinal debts and how else should we allocate the worst sorts of manual work?

    Pass out the shovels to 'em

    I agree with the theory, but as the great grandson of slave owners, I hope it remains a hypothetical exercise.
