I did, actually.

I did, because we did a little thing for our TV piece where the two of us walked up the famous stairwell in Downing Street, passed all the pictures of previous prime ministers.

And we actually did that after the interview.

And it's always a bit, despite all the hours I've spent on television, I always find that a bit sort of, I'm not a good actor.

And you're walking up a stairwell.

You're with the prime minister.

You're in their house and you're being filmed.

I mean, there's nothing remotely natural about that.

And also, it's not the interview.

You're just having a chat.

And so I mentioned, because he's going to the G7 summit in the south of France next week and I'm going along as part of the press pack, that the first England game is on the Wednesday night as we come back.

But I was also mentioning that...

you know, obviously the whole thing had just started and my son had started filling in his wall chart this morning and all that kind of thing.

And I know that he's a massive football fan.

So yeah, we had a bit of a chat about the World Cup on the way up the stairs.

Also, talking of next Wednesday, Newsnight asked if I could present next Wednesday.

And I was like, yeah, sure.

And then I checked my calendar.

I was like, oh, yeah, England match.

That's why they asked me.
