Overall a good day today though it started and ended with lots of traffic and a couple of 'wrong turns'. I won't point fingers; instead I'll let Gilles plead guilty in person when he sees each and every one of you.

On the more serious side, we had a great interview with Prof. David Kerr. He is obviously passionate about his work and the new labs at Oxford are quite impressive. As you will see in the film, his work on colorectal cancer is extensive and his search for new drugs is impressive as well.

Rushing out of Oxford we could find nothing healthy to eat so we defaulted to a Domino's Pizza takeout. Then it was off to Folkestone to catch the Eurotunnel. Incredible traffic. Not sure why but there was a line up of trucks several miles long.

Tonight we'll be sleeping in Brussels at a way too expensive hotel but that's all we could find at this late stage downtown which is where we have to be early in the morning for an interview hastily arranged by one of our great guardian angels Caroline G. We were slated to interview Dr. Adamou, but he cancelled out at the last minute for health reasons.

Hope we are not boring you with our trip blog. If you are receiving this by email and wish to be taken off please do so immediately; no hard feelings. If you're reading it on our website, then it's easier, just tune us out (sniff).

I'll close by saying this. I think by the end of the trip, my greatest frustration will be twofold. First will be that I wish I could interview each person for ten times as long. They are fascinating and committed. Secondly, how am I going to edit this film down into a 52 minute piece when every little bit of interview is so captivating?

One last thing. I liked this... in our hotel last night, there was a no smoking sign, but check out the fine! Expensive cigarette; I hope it makes people think twice.
