Most certainly not! Wishing Petroc well and being enthusiastic re. his style of presentation on Breakfast are two very different things.

I don’t think we need to like everything Petroc does to wish him well. Come to that, I don't think we need even to like him to wish him well in a situation like this.

Egg wetter gree. I think he's a twerp, but I really feel for him and will be happier when he's back here and out of his horrible predicament.

At least we are getting a blow by blow account of proceedings:

A BBC radio presenter who was arrested in Bulawayo and charged with working without a work permit is currently before a bulawayo magistrate at a local hospital where he is admitted.

I think we have done reasonably well so far.

(As many as there are children

(but I'm sorry if I sounded like a wound-up parent. Blame the heat.))

Thank you for the link. Let's hope things won't become too complicated.
