This supercut of Sandi Toksvig hugging people is the tonic you didn’t know you needed

At the time of writing, it’s a rainy Monday morning, the news is full of Machiavellian plotting, climate disaster and revelations about traumatised badgers, so why shouldn’t we indulge in two minutes and forty-four seconds of loveliness?

Seriously, the most legitimate reason for craving fame is the increased chance of getting a Sandi Toksvig hug. We completely empathise with these reactions to @qikipedia‘s video.

It is now my highest life ambition to be hugged by Sandi Toksvig. https://t.co/uRANwOOCdJ

However, one of the lucky recipients of a Sandi hug, comedian James Acaster, made this quip.

I was unaware this would be made public https://t.co/Ta8LLR9420

Don’t deny us this, James; it’s all some of us have left.
