And another thing…

Very good interview, Tom (worrying, given that you’re a Labour man )

The points you make are very valid – it just WOULDN’T be the same to have votes at a GE counted the next day; I always stay up to watch, it’s an intrinsic part of a GE. Hope you’re successful in your campaign to keep the count on the night.

Made me laugh when you said,

“We love the experience, the spectacle of Election Night”

Yes, Tom, you might, but a lot of your colleagues will be looking as if they had eaten a nettle and then discovered a wasp had sh*t on it.

Who’s running this country anyway? Piddlling little local Gauleiters or you lot.

It looks like there was only one cameraman. Did you have to pretend to talk/listen while he filmed from one or two other angles so as to include the interviewer in the edit?

Yes. Grosman was doubling as cameraman and interviewer

So who took the pictures of the two of you together? Not a passer by? I take it Grosman (new to me; no telly since 2005) pressed ‘record’ and then jumped into the shot. So, a modern ‘camera crew’ is one person?

“So who took the pictures of the two of you together?”

A tripod. I hope it was a union member…

Is the absence of cameramen, sound recordist and director usual for interviews these days?

Do you remember The Tripods?

I loved that programme. I’m still annoyed they didn’t make the final series, so it was a trilogy of two parts.

@Stewart
I don’t think they’ve got a leg to stand on.

Sorry Tom . . .

Its NOT an Entertainment . .

Ask the Tories when they go down for a fourth and final time in 2010.

(I watched them all 1959 – 1992, but then it got boring . . . )
