in Politics #1
David Dimbleby is joined in London by Theresa May MP (Con), Caroline Flint MP (Lab), Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles (former HM Ambassador to Kabul), Clive James (writer and broadcaster) and Douglas Murray (Centre for Social Cohesion).

Not a scintillating panel at first sight, but you never know. Clive James is always worth a look; I haven't seen him on anything for ages.

Then, on This Week:

    oh contraire, Theresa May, Caroline Flint, Clive James and Douglas Murray - looking forward to it.:)

    Anyone but Chris Grayling. He picked up the ‘Bigot of the Year’ at Stonewall awards. :D

    Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles - never heard of him.:confused:

    Caroline Flint? Oh dear! I'm not her biggest fan. Not by a large margin

    Douglas Murray! The "neo-con is good" dude? Man this guy just winds me up! So arrogant and argumentative on this show. Didn't know he was in government?

    Clive James should be good value though.

    Not a very inspiring panel. Clive James can be too dry for his own good these days, as well.

    I'm predicting loads of vitriol from Caroline Flint without any actual ideas at all

    (I'm hiding my dislike for her well aren't I?) ;)

    Well in that case I hope they made sure he wasn't thirsty in The Green Room ;)

    Clive James.bye just reminded me why I like him :)

    Whats happened to Douglas Murray?? So far very toned down nothing like what he's been before. Maybe he's had to tone down now he's in government?

    Clive James needs to give his glasses a wipe - not to sound too banal - but they do!

    Caroline Flint looks more and more like Morticia Addams as each day passes.

    The jibe about older people not having to pay tuition fees is annoying

    Should they apologise for being born "too early"?
