Since gaffophobia hit the mainstream media, there have been a couple of interesting announcements.

Apparently Boris will now take part in a couple of TV debates with the other candidates in the coming weeks.

On last night’s BBC London they announced a forthcoming pre-recorded debate with the main candidates, including Boris, being recorded on (if I remember correctly) 14 April. You may be able to join the audience for this if you e-mail to register your interest.

And a short time ago on this evening’s Question Time on BBC One, David Dimbleby announced that on 24 April, the show will come from London and will also feature the main candidates for Mayor taking questions from the audience. Should be a must-see programme, coming just one week before London goes to the polls. If you want to be among those putting questions to them, register your interest via the Question Time web site.

Congratulations to everyone who covered the determination of the Boris campaign to keep him out of the spotlight: it looks like the coverage has shamed him back into it!
