Well done to Radio 5 Live and Victoria Derbyshire, for their mid-morning discussion show today (13th May, 2009). It's a station I listen to a lot. Those irritating echoey-voiced trailers (five live, FIVE LIVE, fi-fi-fi-five Li-li-li-ve) might be a pain. But there's periodically the odd gem of a broadcast. Today was such a day - with Lembit Opik desperately trying to resist, muddy and rise above the tidal wave of righteousness being thrown at him by Telegraph Assistant Editor Andrew Pierce. Derbyshire had little to do but referee. But her gentle yet forensic examination of Opik's attempt to screw a £2,500 telly out of the taxpayer on expenses was impressive. I thought the Cheeky Boy he was going to start crying at one stage. His voice sounded close to breaking throughout. Maybe too much singing along with Gabriela with his iPod on full volume? Anyway, well done Derbyshire and Pierce. And well done to the BBC for facilitating. Public service broadcasting at its best, to use a popular modern cliche
