Madeleine McCann: My Brilliant Career
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE GUARDIAN: “Heard the same song three times today? Blame the craze for ‘testing’ tunes”
Martin Kelner is writing on his career in radio:
“The problem is that during the day most of my local radio stations are aiming at a broadly similar audience, roughly women of a certain age, from around 30 to a shade over 55. Those who claim to be in the know say this is the constituency that will help you to a good score in the quarterly Rajar figures.
The slavish adherence to this perceived wisdom was made clear to me at the BBC local station that sacked me just over a year ago (on the same day Madeleine McCann went missing actually, which is probably why you never saw much about it in the newspapers) for not being “female friendly” enough.
Irony? Given the Madeleine McCann is now a linked to the f9 button on a journalist’s keyboard, it’s hard to tell…

I don’t believe you for a second! You’re going out shopping with the offspring or something else that’s fun to do. Shopping… sun is shining… Oh bugger, I’ll tell my client it’ll take a day longer and I’ll call a friend to go shopping and lunching on a sunny terrace

MCCANNS: IT’S STILL NO TO A RE-RUN
By Marc Baker
Defiant Kate and Gerry McCann have rejected a new plea to help re-create the night their daughter Maddie vanished.
The couple had a tense showdown with Portuguese cops last week.
After refusing to fly back, they have now been told to reply “within days” to yet another request for them to attend a reconstruction in two weeks.
But sources say they will again say no.
Police want Kate, 40, and Gerry, 39, and their Tapas Seven pals to return.
But the couple have “grave reservations” about cops’ motives.
They fear police aren’t interested in finding Maddie and only want to charge them with neglect over the disappearance of Maddie, now five, in Praia da Luz last May.
Spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “They’re still considering what to do.”

McGuckins to sue

Is that the Irish couple?

The bible passage with the cadaver scent…………….
19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the LORD and worshipped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.
21 His servants asked him, “Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!”
22 He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let the child live.’
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”

But she revealed how she dreaded the prospect of having to search for Madeleine for another 40 years.
She said: ‘We’re never going to get to a day where you think, “OK, we’ve tried everything now. We’re exhausted and we need to start living”.’
Mr McCann said: ‘Your life is carrying on to an extent, in a quasi-real existence, a purgatory-type existence.’
