JH: Can you tell us about how you came to be ravaged by the lesbians?
SL: (Roars with laughter) We were about to go on air with the Six O’Clock News – this is exactly twenty years ago now – and I was checking through my notes. I could hear a lot of shouting fro the gallery in my earpiece but there’s nothing surprising about that – that’s live news – when suddenly the door to the studio burst open.
JH: The lesbians!
SL: Well, I thought they were men. They were bloody big and dressed in combat gear and waving handcuffs. They dived at the cameras, and the music for the six o’clock news came up. And I thought: this is it. We’re going to be kidnapped. We’re destined for a cellar in Beirut. God knows how I thought they were going to get us out of the sixth floor of TV centre and to Beirut, but you don’t think rationally in a situation like that. Fear knows no logic.
So, what if Sue Lawley's fear was right and a bunch of BBC people arwe kidnapped and held hostage by terrorists, either on live television or somewhere else? What happens?
