About this episode
Well, Gyles's diary continues to wow Harriet - and all our lovely listeners - and this week is no exception... Because at the height of the Cold War (it's 1968 and the USSR have just invaded Czechoslovakia), the young Mr Brandreth goes off on a research trip to Moscow. And it is truly fascinating - a snapshot of Soviet life with all its surveillance, austerity and difference. Back in the UK, life is as busy as ever - preparations for Cinderella continue, the relationship with Michele is flourishing, and Gyles meets Jack Profumo. Plus a fantastic listener email from Amelia Stay. Enjoy this!
