This woman told me he absolutely loved that wind-up. He went bananas, but at the end of it he proved he had a great sense of humour. I had rung him pretending to be from the library, telling him he hadn’t returned a library book. I remember being at a party when a woman introduced herself and told me that I had wound up her dad a few years before. And the people at the centre of these little dramas do actually enjoy it. I’ve always described my wind-ups as mini-dramas. I’ve had people in such a state that if I’d been in the room with them instead of on the end of a phone, they would have strangled me with their bare hands. I’ve been doing wind-up calls for over 20 years, starting on Key 103 in Manchester, and I have done hundreds of them. That was the phrase which kept going through my mind in recent days as the story unfolded of how two Australian DJs had made a prank call to the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated, and how the nurse who took that call was later found dead.
