Giles Coren Has No Idea

Banging Out

Giles and Esther pick apart the papers for this week's column idea; from a scary fiscal event and saving Britain's wild birds, to cheating at chess with a sex toy and saying farewell to the boss. Giles pays tribute to his outgoing editor and Esther is picks bits of ceiling out of her tea.

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.
