Did anyone notice the three interviewers last night referring to and calling Sir Alan as 'Alan' . I take it you have to wait to be given special permission to call him this. What do Nick and Margaret call him? I've not specifically noticed.
Sir Alan
I call him Alan too - but I've been working with him for 23 years now. In part it's because I knew him before the knigthood but in part it's because you don't call a friend "Sir". I know Bordan and Nick very well (and Claude a bit from a few years ago). Nick truly is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet - an utter gentlemen of the old school - though I was kind of surprised by him on the YF show last night! Equally Bordan is a thoroughly nice guy which I think came through in his interviewing and character summaries last night. They all call Alan, "Alan".

Woah! Did he miss loads of works after his face lift?
