If there is a sequel to The Truman Show, which starred the extraordinary Jim Carrey as a man whose entire life is a TV series, I should be sure to get the part. Over the course of lockdown, as a so-called “shielded” person, I have been Citrix-d, Duo’d, Googled, Skyped, Teamed and Zoomed. My life has revolved around people looking at me on laptops and mobile phones. It has been a novel experience, since before this I had only heard of WhatsApp, Skype and Blackberry Messenger. As my hardworking young apprentice, Dan Swords, said to me in the early days: “Rob, Skype is so 2005. You need to get learning – and quick.”
