The Now Show.


The Now Show this week remarked on political memoirs being given film titles. The Third Man was the butt of a few jokes.

"The advert for his book is like Roald Dahl in Tales from the Unexpected. But as we've heard what he has to say many times before the only
surprising thing would be if he turned to camera and said "I'm not even slightly gay"

For the weekend:

..
Peter Mandelson
Gordon Brown
