Bit of detail on the new book with a bit of luck.

Nothing really on the new book, but boy is Edi Stark intrusive.

There's very, understandably, emotional stuff when he talks about the death of his father and especially the death of this ex-wife.

That's why the programme is called "Stark Talk"! She at least does it without coming over all judgemental like some so-called 'investigative' reporters.

I didn't find the interviewer intrusive - just doing her job, giving the interviewee the occasional prod, though to be honest he didn't sound as if he needn't much of this. What a soft Fife accent he has! I lived there for a couple of years and some of the locals (especially around Dunfermline) could be really hard to follow. But maybe North Queensferry counts as a suburb of Edinburgh, even though it's on the wrong side of the forth.
