Wikipedia: The Crack Cocaine of Copy Editing
As a contributor I specialise in British Comedy. I also hope to raise the profile of writers throughout the entertainment pages so that scriptwriters get their due.
In horrific tribute to comedy writers everywhere, I wrote this and got threatened with legal action for it (which was much more fun than hitting the keyboard was)
On a happier note, David Quantick has written to me about the biography I drew up for him there, asking if it could be used at the IMDB. I'm waiting to find out
