At least you could count on Bono to turn up

We've never been entirely sure of the value of "celebrity-edited" editions of Today; we know the idea is to try and fatten up the programme when even battling Labour ministers are sleeping off the Christmas meals, but it still feels like you're trapped with someone given the chance to bore you on their favourite subjects while you're trying to eat your breakfast.

This December, apparently Pet Doherty is being lined up as a guest editor. God alone knows what he'll have lined up - pulling blood from Sarah Montague and splashing it on the 8.10 interviewee, probably. Before going on to read his poetry in lieu of the sports news.

Still, at least it's not Peaches Geldof.
