Professor of Pop Paul Gambaccini boards this week’s rocket to Planet Normal, with some disquieting words for the Metropolitan Police after he signed an open letter calling for the head of the force, Cressida Dick, to be replaced in her role. In a damning interview, he tells Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan why, seven years after he was cleared of claims of sexual abuse, he feels he was used as ‘human flypaper’ to encourage others to make allegations against celebrities.
Plus: it’s straight sets and straight talking this week as our co-pilots applaud US Open winner Emma Raducanu for her poise, her grace and her lack of grunting. Our co-pilots indulge in a nostalgic trip down British sporting memory lane.
And it’s not just tennis that’s holding court this week: Liam warns of an ‘Autumn of discontent’, Allison tells listeners why Chris Whitty has left her feeling as if she’s living through Groundhog Day and both our co-pilots notice a growing sense of disillusionment with the government.
