We got so many, so this is a proper, old-fashioned &quot;mailbag&quot; edition of Rosebud. Our huge thanks to everyone who sent us something - we so appreciate it. We have wonderful listeners.</p><p><br></p><p>And we reveal our prize-winning postcards. They come from: James Sainsbury, in Auckland, New Zealand; Alastair Crieff (sp), who set us a black and white photo he&#39;d found in Dieppe, and the Reverend Jane Parry, who sent us a Donald McGill classic. Please get in touch with us at hello@rosebudpodcast.com if this is you!</p><p><br></p><p>Then we have another enjoyable and absorbing edition of Gyles&#39;s 1980 diary, in which he has a sad lunch with a diminished Sir Michael Redgrave; manages to stay awake through Wagner&#39;s Ring Cycle; has a disconcerting invitation to get into a hot tub with Jimmy Edwards, and has a close shave with Frankie Howerd.</p><p><br></p><p>Enjoy this, diary aficionadi!</p>","author_name":"Gyles Brandreth / Plain Jaine Media "}
