Lunch date


It’s official: the Guardian and other places announce today the BBC adaptation of Christopher Reid’s The Song of Lunch, starring Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman, to be broadcast in October. Janice Hadlow, controller at BBC Two, is quoted as saying: ‘We hope that audiences will enjoy this dramatisation of Christopher Reid’s touching and witty poem and maybe feel inspired to indulge in a little more poetry themselves.’ And a little more buying of books, I hope. And another bottle of wine over lunch, Juliano (above) hopes.

Guess what - Amazon is out of stock of Song of Lunch. Did that surprise you? No. Thought not. But the rating is down at 10,000, so someone's buying. Quicker and more efficient and more wholesome from this site obviously

Is that Fornello's?

Juliano from Fornello's, yes, but here he's in his new place, Il Castellato or something, in Bury Street. Hungry?
