Back when we started this daily edition, we promised we’d reveal a few answers to some of the Big Questions we’d posed over the years. Hearing all your stories of writing to celebs reminded us of one.
About ten years ago, a primary school class sent off letters to celebrities with a picture of a lifeboat which they asked the stars to colour in. As the days went on, pupils started to get letters back, which they all opened in class. Paul O’Grady sent the picture back featuring his dog, Buster, and David Tennant’s was particularly good too. But which Newsnight presenter caused one little girl to cry?
As she opened the envelope, her letter and lifeboat picture fell out. Untouched and uncoloured, with nothing else.
