This morning, former Tory cabinet minister Tim Yeo, who resigned following the revelation that his extra-marital affair with a Tory councillor resulted in unexpected fatherhood, called me a liar.

I think I'll have a t-shirt made.

I'm very impressed. Perhaps now you could change your name from "Zebedee (Pool God)" to "Zebedee (Liar)". smiley - smiley

Oh, and I should really point out that I didn't lie to the shifty hypocrite in the first place....

Are you at liberty to explain why he called you a liar then?

Well, without going into too much detail, I had to brief him before an interview, and he expressed a desire not to speak to the father of a CJD victim. I assured him that he wouldn't have to, and then the interviewer shafted him on live national tv.

Which is his prerogative, but I'm the one who had to deal with the less than impressed politician. All the journos at the studio found it very amusing though....

You know that the writers spent some considerable amounts of time in our office (as well as a couple of others), before writing it......

I bet each character has a real life counterpart in your office, don't they?

Bits of people - mostly past, some present. None who are still on screen, that's for sure. And not all the characters, of course....

But you sort of have to be there when the little reminders sneak out, if you know what I mean.
