What a week for David Miliband. At the beginning of it he was a potential Labour party leader. By the end he was doing some colouring in next to actor Jake Wood, who plays Max Branning in EastEnders, at the West End premier of the new Thomas the Tank Engine film Misty Island Rescue. Monkey can report David and his children enjoyed the film. And that David is good at colouring in ... he stayed inside the lines and everything. A bunch of bananas to him though for giving subeditors a field day by having his picture taken with the Fat Controller. Perhaps a career in the transport industry awaits.
