Actually Robbie, I enjoy working NYE although it is exhausting, and this year apart from the usual cut heads we had three chest stabbings brought in. Besides I can't bear the idea of mass enforced jubilation at the stroke of midnight - it all seems so artificial. Anyway, Chris Evans once again bought us all drink the next morning - well, this is Hampstead you know! Adrian Fogarty
