Journalist Lynn Barber is castaway by Kirsty Young. A master of the profile interview, Lynn's razor-sharp observations have earned her the nickname the Demon Barber and won her a stack of awards. Although critics say her articles are hatchet jobs, she disagrees: "I think that people are well served by quite blunt or quite rude questions because it forces them to fight back and come back strongly,".
