Shy Gyles Brandreth. Readers' Letter by Hugo Vickers

Shy Gyles Brandreth

SIR: The death of Jane Birkin was a devastating blow to my generation. Many of us listened to her and Serge going through their paces in Je t’aime - under the bedclothes at school.

There was another grave shock - to read that your columnist Gyles Brandreth never met her. You need to inspect his contract. He is slipping. Hugo Vickers, London W8
