Hello, Tom.
I thought I might pose a slightly silly question, as we're in the month of festivities...
Given the huge success and public adoration that one-time breakfast telly astrologer Russell Grant has experienced this year on 'Strictly Come Dancing' - which has sent his personal star soaring again - I wonder if you would ever consider taking part in any of those "celebrity-based" shows? Indeed, have you ever been asked to participate in one?
I understand that your namesake and fellow-Doctor, Colin, is a contestant on 'Come Dine With Me' over Christmas. So, I just wonder if we'd ever have the joy of watching you ballroom dance, ice-skate, feed four strangers at your dinner table, share a house with a random bunch of "faces" or go camping in the jungle?
I wouldn't blame you if the answer is a resounding "No"....
All good wishes, as ever...
John
P.S. Tom, I would also just like to take this opportunity to say a huge "Thank You" for your kind and considered responses to my questions throughout the year. Our regular "communications" have meant a very great deal, and brought enormous pleasure. I wish you, your good lady wife and all those you love a very happy, healthy and enjoyable Christmas.
