Archbishop Desmond Tutu pretends to smoke cannabis as President Jimmy Carter talks about drugs It may be that familiarity breeds contempt, but Jon Snow, interviewing Jimmy Carter for the second time in London, gently suggested that the former president had a rather "big ego." Snow also suggested to Tutu that he had a reputation for "going on a bit," and Peter Gabriel, the pop singer, who introduced the distinguished group, described the speakers as "a bunch of old timers." Elaine Paige wants cheaper musicals Elaine Paige, the first lady of musical theatre, is delighted by the director Michael Grandage's plans to coax a new generation into the West End by making tickets to plays available for just £10. "Musical theatre should be made more accessible, too, but it's more expensive to put on," Paige, above, tells Mandrake at the launch of Tim Gosling's book London Secrets at the Halcyon Gallery. In New York, I was asked to pay $400 to see Hugh Jackman's show. I managed to get a cheaper ticket, but, if West End prices are astronomical, then Broadway is worse.
