Well, it’s not exactly fame, but we’re on the web. Um. Obviously…on…the web…but…
Anyway, Jo and I can be spotted in a video of Labour MP John Prescott stumping in Headingley. We feature quite highly in this video, walking past in the background between 00:15 and 00:25, on our way into town.
And while Jo and I managed to unwittingly appear in a YouTube stump video, Jo’s Aunt Helen – who happens to be a Professor of Medieval Literature at Cambridge – managed to appear in a BBC historical documentary called ‘The Seven Ages of Britain’, the most recent of which was Age of Worship. She gets a whole five minutes with David Dimbleby, discussing Geoffrey Chaucer and Middle English.
Verdict: 5 minutes, BBC, Dimbleby, Chaucer > 10 seconds, YouTube, Prescott, Labour strengths
