  Just watched it, shocked that Campbell was able to wind a broadcaster of that status up so much!
  
  Think he's had to go off and calm down!

  Can't believe what I've just seen! Adam should have never allowed himself to be rattled on air. The programme comes first, and as a senior manager in Sky, he was out of order, regardless of whether Snake Campbell was provoking him or not. Good viewing though!

  Jeremy Thompson should have weighed in heavily and stopped it much earlier.
  No excuse though for Adam losing it.

  Just put the tv on so only caught the end of the argument, not sure what it was all about, but looked very unprofessional from Adam Boulton, surely a tv presenter doing live tv regularly should be able to keep his cool on air, he looked like he was ready to burst!

  Yes, excellent stuff about time someone gave Cambell a shafting - arrogant, ignorant psychopath and unelected!

  Bit of history here, on election night Campbell rattled him with accusations of bias.

  Sky has been odd over the last few days. I wonder if the fallout from the election result (and viewing figures) is more than we know behind the scenes? Perhaps heads are going to roll?

  I just seen it and im shocked at the way Adam spoke to Campbell like that and to do it live on air is not on and i hope ofcom look into it as that should not happen live on air and for adam to say Labour have cocked it all up(maybe they have) he should not have said it and i hope Adam comes out and says sorry live on air for it.

  There is no doubt about Adam Boulton's bias against Gordon Brown and the Labour party. When Alister Campbell said "you obviously disappointed Cameron didn't win", Boulton blew up.
  
  Although I hate Campbell , I don't think he did anything wrong in saying that!

  To be fair Adam Boulton (who I normally respect) was constantly badgering Campbell and not allowing him to answer this questions. It became apparent that Boulton had personal distaste to the proposed Lab/Lib deal and tbh that should not come through from a impartial reporter with a legal obligation not to show political bias. No fan of Campbell here but Boulton was unprofessional and completely out of order!
  
  I agree though, HILARIOUS viewing!

  Captured using co-ax cable from the box. It's certainly not too fuzzy, although there is a slight buzzing noise because of the connection

  He's on TV now. Outside 10 Downing Street. Looks a bit calmer. Will he apologise. He needs to or resign with Brown.
