SmallTalk by PETER FLANNERY and ELIZABETH GAMLIN with and 'Look, I've seen these people on other TV programmes. With the rooms stuffed full of teddy bears and the train sets all laid out in the shed gathering dust. Non-stop talk about the one thing they can't have. One-track minds going round in circles.
They're lethal. I want nothing to do with them.'
