Shovel-ready

Of course we are all keeping calm and carrying on. We hear the advice that our journey shouldn't be undertaken 'unless absolutely necessary' which is utterly hopeless and totally pointless. Who decides what is necessary? Your boss will have one view, your family will have another. Is drivetime 'absolutely necessary?'

(That was your cue by the way. Thanks, you're too kind)
We need to assemble a show for you, and your hard-nosed, tough-as-nuts team will be on-air as usual from 5. A snowy ARF will guide you home and we will fight the elements, wade through the drifts and struggle across ice and snow. Don't worry about us.
Movie show on 5 live first, with Kathryn Bigelow (director) and Mark Strong (co-star) from Zero Dark Thirty to discuss the Bin Laden film. There are sensible people saying very silly things about this film, so see it and make your own mind up. Mark and I both enjoyed it and didn't think it glorified torture, hear more after 2. Then, with the huskies in tow and the Radio 2 sledge beneath my person. The All Request moment will be on us. Your opening song choice has to be from 1976 and we'll see what happens then.
Keep your travel rug handy, see you after 2 and 5.
