It's always a pleasure to speak to The World Tonight.

Go live on air now?

Yes, of course, I'd be delighted to.

Robin, my pleasure.

Nice to be with you.

Yes. Before I answer that question, may I say how delighted I am, as we all are in the department,

at the excitement and enthusiasm that our Benefit Fraud Inspection Unit has created.

I announced at a press conference this new Benefit Fraud Inspection Unit,

which we are hoping to call...

Sponge Avengers,

and, um, at that press conference

there seems to have been a bit of a blip

because many of the journalists didn't pick up on the announcement.

They're so much looking for...

ON RADIO: 'a bit of scandal or incompetence, so that statement'

that the policy was the invention of a disgruntled civil servant

was actually the invention of a disgruntled civil servant.

No, there's only one disgruntled civil servant, because one of them's...one of them's an invention

by the other one, you see?

Anyone listening carefully would have thought I sounded completely mad. No, you came over loud and clear.

It's going to put the whole thing to bed, anyway. Kill it.

And Olly's offered Angela a Private Life piece about you. Oh, great(!)

A Sunday with you and the family, go for a walk, spend time with you.

She'll be checking through my books and snooping in my bathroom cabinet

and making snide remarks about how I don't know who Gail Porter is! We did dick her about, Hugh. Yeah.

And we're getting a roasting at the moment

from what has been dubbed flip-flop Friday,

so we need all the help from friends we can get right now. I know.

Look, what do you think?

Well, I just think that...

I want a new driver. I don't want to see this guy ever again.

On what grounds?

Smiling. Inappropriate smiling.

And smirking. Smiling and smirking.

I don't want to see that smile or smirk ever again. OK?

OK, thank you very much. Which way do you want to go? Blackwall Tunnel?
