They should give Richard Dawkins a Papal Audience, I would pay to see that one.

Laurie Taylor from 'Thinking Allowed'? Ooh I like his programme. Didn't know he was Orange. What on earth is he doing that for? Haven't they both got better things to do? He is an ethnographer though so I suppose it's the ultimate in ethnographic gigs. Even if he IS Orange.

I heard Laurie Taylor speak at a conference, and he was excellent. I used to love his column in the TES.

I would be very interested to hear about his conversations with the Pope! Dawkins would be too confrontational and aggressive. I live Dawkins, but he wouldn't be right for this.

Laurie Taylor is brilliant. He used to do a fantastic column in the New Statesman and now does an excellent one in the New Humanist. Thinking Allowed is an absolute gem - a genuinely intelligent programme that doesn't patronise its audience. What's not to like?

I am like Worra and wondered what a PayPal audience was.

I have no idea why you are aggrieved. I don't know who that is and frankly the pope can have a chat to whoever he likes, it doesn't make a difference to me.

I think Taylor Dane should be granted a papal audience.

I can think of few things more tedious than spending a week trailing round with the Pope. Unless he's going to ask him about child abuse - that would be interesting.

Edam, I wouldn't put it past him. Hackmum, exactly.
