Author and journalist Terence Blacker responds to the Sarah Palin emails leak.

Writers create a fictional response to the week's news. Terence Blacker imagines the plight of a newspaper editor faced with mountains of Sarah Palin's leaked emails.

"Perhaps the highest pinnacle in the career of the legendary newspaper editor Gary Wells - known affectionately by his colleagues as The Guv'nor".

In THE GOTCHA MOMENT, Terence Blacker responds to the Sarah Palin emails leak, when 24,000 pages of her missives appeared in the public domain. He imagines how a newspaper editor would deal with such a mountain of stuff, if it came his way. Would he rise to the challenge of making something of it all, or would he sink without trace!

Gary Wells ..... Adrian Scarborough

Producer Duncan Minshull.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
