ROGER GONE MAD

Back in the days when Roger Finn was joint presenter of Newsround with Helen Rollason he arrived a little late for the morning conference. Afterwards he sat beside me and explained thus: "I'm only a little guy and I was coming in on the M40 when this bloke in a massive car starts honking his horn and flashing his lights. So, to protect myself, I pretended to be a weirdo. I waved my arms about, shook my head so furiously that it nearly fell off, made strange horrible faces whenever I caught a glimpse of the driver...." Go on, I said. "Then, about a minute later the car started swerving violently across the road. I pulled over, got out and checked the wheels. Guess all he wanted to tell me was that I had two flat tires."
