This is the prospect of real peace in Northern Ireland, which is very
good news if it happens.
The IRA have said 'well, we'll sort of give up our guns but don't push us

Peter Mandelson - about 30 minutes it took him!
G: Absolutely.
A: Have you ever met Peter Mandelson, Gyles?

Best hair in a role of its own!
P: Yeah, exactly.
M: But at least I don't dye mine!

G: Ooooh!
A: Is it true you were known as 'Black and Decker'?
M: Yes, that's right.
I had a Black and Decker power comb!
But you know, it all looks okay.
Is it on straight?
It's okay.
But listen, if we are going to...

Michael Cole checks his 'wig'
P: That's clearly not a wig.
