Cathy Newman

He wrote it when he was nowhere near midlife.

That's what I was going to ask you.

He also wrote a book about hypochondria as well.

And I remember the Daily Mail trying to interview us as a couple about what was it like to live with someone with hypochondria.

And I was like, well, he's not really that bad.

I really killed the interview, to be honest.

But so, you know, it's funny because he's never been a kind of like old fogey or young fogey or whatever.

So I think he just got a bit confused that midlife.

He thought, oh, I must be in my 30s.

And I'm like, no, you know, now we're in our prime now anyway.

Yeah.

When you think you have contentment, that's... I always think sometimes...

Because sometimes I say to my husband, oh, God, I wish I just did 20% less and then I'd be much happier.

Because I'm always busy.

I'm always late.

And, you know, I was late here today and that was probably my fault, although I did blame the tube strike.

Yes, I always think, oh, I'll be happier if I just go a bit slower.

And my husband says, you really don't know yourself because you will only be happy if you're manically busy.

So what is contentment?

And I suppose I did think, you know, when I'd been on Channel 4 News 20 years.
