As part of a very important ongoing series, The Fence asks some very important questions of some very important people. (With immense thanks to Ian Martin for his contributions to this piece).
do you think kylie minogue drinks her own wine?
Not a chance.
Annie Mac
is it ever worth adjusting the car clock to british summer time?
No, leave it well alone. It is a very good way of introducing some gentle mental arithmetic into your day.
Richard Osman
I think so. I once arrived an hour late for an audition after failing to re-adjust my car clock, and missed out on playing the hunchback in a new musical that later became an enormous hit.
Michael Palin
do you prefer mechanical lawnmowers or electric?
Mechanical.
Ian Rankin
should time be decimal?
Dammit, it’s worth a try.
Hugh Laurie
does the cost of picture framing still surprise you?
I belong to an etching workshop so the cost of picture framing matters to me and is, to my mind, exorbitant.
John Carey
do you reckon horses used in films know that they’re in a film?
I think we underestimate animals in general. I think horses are eye rolling behind our backs and calling us cretins.
