A Visit from Scotland Yard

September 29, 2005

Seriously. We had a visit this afternoon from an officer of from Scotland Yard. Had a look around our office and studios. Had a charming accent.

His tools?
A black tranchcoat, black briefcase and black umbrella. It would be a cool, foggy day today.

The reason?
Next week Charles Clarke, the British Secretary of State, will be a guest on the show.

Clarke is a controversial figure in Britain, where his counterterrorism measures have raised the ire of civil libertarians.
