In which my son Nikos recites Someone Came Knocking
, by Walter de la Mare:
Someone came knocking ~ At my wee, small door;
Someone came knocking ~ I'm sure-sure-sure;
I listened, I opened, I looked to left and right,
But nought there was a-stirring ~ In the still dark night;
Only the busy beetle ~ Tap-tapping in the wall,
Only from the forest ~ The screech-owl's call,
Only the cricket whistling ~ While the dewdrops fall,
So I know not who came knocking, At all, at all, at all.

Also, I'd like to apologise for any remarks of mine that sounded like I was unsympathetic towards transsexual or transgender people.
Unless I get run over by a bus, which could happen, we should record this over dinner in the Foyles cafe - the site of the infamous unreleased Episode One. Of course, @bobcatrock might come to his senses and not turn up. We'll see.
NOT SAFE FOR WORK In a doorway in Charing Cross Road. Nods to @youngamerican and Foyles cafe, Crossrail, the Astoria, smoking, the other guy in the podcast. Lots of ambient noise. I like it. And Starbucks. Also, it's a chance to test out my Edirol R-09HR Recorder: apparently the same model as use by @ukparliament and @lloyddavis.
