Hi Victor, yes it was. Oh my goodness, all of those early mornings, but then everyone came in and there was such a buzz in the room that made you realise how much fun it was and what a great feeling there was in the room. I popped in for a while this morning. Lovely stuff. James

Getting up at 5.00am this morning was difficult but well worth it. Petra Mede was such a great choice to host - warm, funny, clever. The interval act she performed was a classic with so many clever one-liners.
