What a wasted opportunity. Ruby Wax came across as closed, guarded and inauthentic prob as a result of Louis' interview style. He hardly mentioned her great work with frazzled cafes and just chuntered on about their respective tv programmes from 100 years ago. I'm pleased I heard Ruby on R4 which captured more about where she is now.
