Presenter: At last, cheering and banners here outside St Mary’s hospital, we heard the news we’d been waiting for the long wait is over.
Studio: Oh my goodness, look at that excitement - great joy there, the crowds too…
Presenter: The relief is palpable, people here are smiling, hugging each other, at last something has happened. No more “no news at present’ or “nothing has changed”
Studio: It was indeed a long labour
Presenter: Exactly, the stress of trying to invent new ways of saying bugger all all has been intense, at times we were listening intently to other news reports, trying to borrow some ideas. You could see the panic in their eyes, it was like Falluja
Studio: Oh my god…
Presenter: Yes, and how many times can you hand over to some idiot who also has nothing to report? They just hand straight back. Ten hours since we arrived outside Admissions and we’ve been gibbering non stop. They even cancelled Long Lost Families. It’s been a trial indeed. All over now, thank God. In the words of Margaret Thatcher – Rejoice!
Studio: And what news of mother and baby?
Presenter: What baby?
