Boozing for Britain

TV executives scared of leaving their London drinking establishments behind at the Mip TV programme market in Cannes this week must have breathed a sigh of relief when London private members' club The Hospital decided to open up a temporary branch on the French Riviera. Sky One's Richard Wolfe and Sophie Turner Laing, Channel 4's Andy Duncan, David Ellender from Fremantle, Tim Hincks from Endemol, Lisa Opie from Channel Five and Virgin Media's Claudia Rosencrantz were all spotted helping themselves to the free booze at a party on Tuesday night. The Wolfemeister must have felt especially relaxed as he turned up in what can only be described as a tracksuit ensemble. He was later seen making his escape through the a side door fire exit.
