First interview? Well, on tape at least...

The Hull Daily Mail's interview with Charles Bronson is being hailed as the first interview with the notorious convict, who is serving a life sentence in Wakefield prison. Reporter Adam Lovell certainly did well by speaking at length by phone to Bronson - you can read it here and (just about) listen to it here - but, in fairness, I think the honour for the genuine exclusive should go to Chris Cowlin, a manager with Apex Publishing, who managed to speak to Bronson inside the jail more than two weeks ago.

At least Bronson - supposedly Britain's most dangerous man - gave them both the same story: "I hold my hands up, I have been a very naughty boy in the past, but I've had enough of all of that now, I want to come home."
