Killer Bimbos on Fleet Street!
Blonde Eve Pollard edits the Sunday Mirror and petite Patsy Chapman edits the News of the World.
Once confined to agony columns and horoscopes the street girls now dish the dirt with the boys in the circulation war among the tabloids.
These are good times for the girls - and dangerous ones. No longer is it safe to publish just because you know 'that a bonk has happened', says kiss 'n' tell queen freelance reporter Trudi Pacter. But sex still sells. And so, apparently, does knitting.

Robbie Coltrane stars in Borderline Theatre Company's hilarious production of Dario Fo's Mistero Buffo, a comic history of religion seen through the eyes of the scurrilous Scottish comedian.

This week's mystery, The Marriage Feast at Cana, is based loosely on the famous miracle in which water was turned into wine. The event is recounted by an angel who marvels at the work of the Lord, and a wide-boy from Glasgow, who vouches for the quality of the wine.
