I scan the green room and spot various broadsheet literary critics mingling with the Pan Macmillan top brass, all here because Christine Aziz has been given the R&J seal of approval. It is testament to the fact that Richard, Judy and Amanda are now the most powerful people in British publishing. (Well, them and Caroline Ridding, who is the book buyer for Tesco.)

He was giving a speech in America about Meadow's Law and how there's a witch-hunt against him in Britain..." begins Angela. In the scene where Dustin (as Michael) is in his agent’s office, he is abrupt in his physical movements and vocal tones. His movements are angular, broad, and away from his body, while his legs are spread apart when he sits down. In essence, he takes up more room.

Simon - who is Amanda's husband and the brother of Jonathan - murmurs something about how he agrees with Judy. I get the sense that this may be a pattern.
