Sam West

Half watching a documentary on the Wilson/Heath rivalry. Chock full of ancient politicians including a very old and different looking Denis Healey and the evergreen Shirley Williams who hasn't aged in decades - that must be the advantage of not giving a toss about your appearance. One of the odd things about it, is that it is narrated by Samuel West who played Ted Heath in the fabulous The Long Walk to Finchley. He was hilarious in that.

I follow him on Twitter: he has a rather unusual handle for someone you might assume to be a self publicist. He is funny, a die-hard lefty and a twitcher: @exitthelemming
