Never mind. Let’s enjoy pretending to discuss the history of epistemological theory, with nice, clever Gail Trimble, with a glass of port, by candle-light, while there’s still time.

Here’s what The Times thought just after the show. And Melanie Phillips in the Mail: (I didn’t know the “mob” hates this girl? Weird. So here’s Harry Mount (this link works I now think….but actually it still doesn’t…you can get the important Harry Mount article from a livelink INSIDE the Melanie Phillips article) with a possible take.)
