Politicians interview pundits

From today's Guardian:

Question time
Politicians are normally the ones being grilled by journalists, but what happened when we asked them to swap roles? Who admits to missing a major scoop, who's cut off mid-sentence, who's quizzed about a wardrobe malfunction and whose bald head caught George Bush's eye?

George Osborne and Andrew Marr
Osborne: So being drunk made you miss the story?
Marr: That's a fair assessment

Ann Widdecombe and Jon Snow
Widdecombe: I have concluded the interview
Snow: We could have a PS

Diane Abbott and Nick Robinson
Robinson: George Bush once had a go at my bald head
Abbott: I think you had got to him

William Hague and Emily Maitlis
Hague: There was a moment - I don't know whether to raise it…
Maitlis: You're the first person to ask me about that…

Caroline Flint and Adam Boulton
Boulton: Debbie Harry trod on my toe once
Flint: At a concert?
Boulton: No, a nightclub in New York
