A laughable two-year stint in advertising that began back in 1998 filled Benji with enough bitterness and bile to write a letter to Private Eye. He has been writing for them ever since, reviewing books and television programmes, and occasionally ratting on his friends for financial gain. His main interest, both at home and professionally, is television – he interviews celebrities and writes features for Radio Times, The Daily Telegraph and The Observer. As long as the pillows are plump and the flatscreen massive, however, he has been known to be lured to foreign climes, writing for Condé Nast Traveller and The Sunday Telegraph.
