Giles Coren Has No Idea

War and No Peace

Giles and Esther take a careful look through this week's papers to find a new column idea; from Roman Abramovich and mental health in farming, to private schools and boring classic novels. Giles tries to balance his brand of humour with being sensitive to the atrocities in Ukraine whilst Esther has written a topical pop quiz.

Each week Giles Coren finds himself with no idea what to write about in his weekly column. Having read all the papers and found nothing of interest whatsoever, he takes a break and does the school run. That’s where his wife and fellow journalist Esther Walker comes in. Upon his return, Esther has half a dozen ideas she’s spotted ready to knock around with him over the kitchen table and a much needed pot of coffee.
