I share your feelings, really - on the one hand, I find the repetition in questions from interviewers in general (if I hear the story about how she came up with the whole thing on a train journey one more time...) annoying, and those ones that inspire a 'did you read the book at all?' face at the screen in particular drive me mad, but I know it's for children, and the people asking or picking the questions can't be expected to have read the things with a PhD student's eye for detail.

I'd really love to see her do an interview that was really tailoured for us obsessives, those of us who would really like to know about the intricacies of her world. I was hoping she might do another interview with one of the fansites so they could pin her down....
