I've got one missed call here, Nicky Campbell.

It's become so complicated, and it's actually terrifically simple.

There was always going to be a Snooper Force policy. Definitely.

It's too good a policy to be invented by a disgruntled civil servant.

I'm really glad you came in. Angela, you know... Well, I could lose my job, Olly. Yeah.

I went to the news desk with three directly contradictory stories in one day. I know.

They gave me flip-flops.

You know...someone actually went out and bought flip-flops to give me. Yeah.

You've got to give them credit for that, though. That is quite funny. Yeah, and they pasted onto them...

a fucking porn picture of a girl sucking a big cock,

and they wrote, "Angela Heaney swallows anything."

That is less funny, obviously. That's actually quite offensive.

Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn't do a big story on the...

you know...on the day of spin? Why? What sort of story...?

You know, inside story of a Government department out of control, with diagrams and a flow chart

with your face and name on it, Glenn's, Hugh's, and big arrows showing who spoke to who

and how you all fucked it up! I think I could write that one myself, Olly.

I could do the punctuation on it! I'm sorry. I was patronising.

Hi, Angela. Oh, I like the hair! ..How's it going? Yeah, um, fine.

We were just, um, talking about

why Angela shouldn't do a big story on the big insider-y piece,

kind of day-of-spin sort of spread in the paper.

I don't know. Maybe you should. Good idea.

Oh, wait a minute!

I know why she shouldn't! If she did that she'd be dead...

to me, to this department, to the Government, and she'd never get another story,

or a fucking whiff of a story, so long as she kept her sorry hack bitch face

lingering around Westminster, because I would call every editor I know - that's all of them -

and I would tell them to gouge her name out of their address books

so she'd never even get a job on hospital radio - where the sad sack belongs! That's what I'd tell her.

But maybe you should do it! See you later. Yeah.

He's actually...

He can be really nice.

It's been a very long day.

I didn't say that we weren't doing it, which is as good as saying that we were. Bye. The World Tonight.

Hello? Hugh Abbot here...
