The Richard Thingummy Lecture

Sir Terry Pratchett delivered the 2010 Dimbleby lecture via his trusty sidekick, the actor Tony Robinson.

The irony of the speech was that although the content was Alzheimer's disease and assisted death, while Mr Robinson spoke for an hour from memory -- or at least no discernible autocue.

Sir Terry might soon go the whole Warhol/Hirst Factory route and get stunt scribblers to write his Discworld novels?

It's all a long way from Dimbleby senior's spaghetti harvest hoax, but maybe if you have Alzheimer's you would think it was true.
