Old, and posted before, but for the benefit of those who haven't seen it, a true classic in tv history
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/n ... 182569.stm
(timely too, given the UK elections coming up)
in this 1997 interview, paxman asks a question TWELVE FUCKING TIMES, and howard doesn't give a straight answer...

Ok...so my link wasn't the correct one.
My link was a follow up piece...but still interesting and funny to watch. Paxman's body language of utter contempt for Howard during the interview portion is hilarious.

I just watched that. Lol, paxman is so pompous and rude, but great to watch. And Michael Howard had the most false smile all the way through that interview.

Oh yeah, this is a classic. At least 8 years old but worth showing as often as possible.
Did anyone catch Paxo asking Blair if he knew how many overstayed asylum seekers there were in the UK? In much the same genre as the Howard thing.
