A PS to my last post

[inulro]

Simon Schama is by far my favourite of what the British media refer to as "media dons" - academics who do accessible television programmes.

So I was sad to see that time isn't being very kind to him in this new series.

I don't mean that he's got fat or bald or ugly, because I wouldn't care. He's looking - well, old and unwell.

And I find that very sad indeed.
