Television cook and countrywoman Clarissa Dickson Wright has filed for bankruptcy. Again. This is actually the third time. It gets easier, she says.
This time round, the catalyst was apparently uncertainty about whether a new programme would be commissioned.
She could, she said, have done some lucrative advertising work but refused. It would have been like taking 30 pieces of silver, she said.
Well, principles are fine and dandy – when you can afford them. Let’s hope that Clarissa’s creditors, presumably still waiting in vain for their money, think so, too.
