Bono to edit Today programme

Bono will guest edit BBC Radio 4's Today programme in the week after Christmas, with other guest presenters including Richard Branson and Anthony Minghella.

Presumably Radio 4 hope nothing much will happen in the week following Christmas. Either way, that week Bono is set to guest edit an edition of the station's flagship news show, the Today programme, following a similar gimmick (did I say gimmick, I meant clever programming venture) involving Radiohead's Thom Yorke last Christmas. In fact there will be a different guest presenter ever day that week - other people involved in 'I'm A Celebrity, Let Me Edit Your News Show' will be Richard Branson, The Duchess Of York, director Anthony Minghella and Baroness Onora O'Neill. Commenting on the project Bono told reporters: "I have to confess I'm not a natural editor."
