Chris has returned from New York this very
second. Hello. Hello. Thank you to the Newscast team for the Newscast cup of tea in a Newscast mug. And I'm conscious, by the way, I'm probably making, if not quite my debut on Newscast in my non-uniform of the normal job with a suit and tie. I am also wearing some clothes that, it would be a stretch to say I've slept in these clothes because I didn't really sleep, but I have been wearing them all night.
Okay. I was going to say you seem quite sprightly, but then you sat down and now you seem a little bit less sprightly.
I'm a bit exhausted. How many hours were you in New York for? 24, pretty much. So we left London on Monday evening, landed in New York late on Monday evening New York time, which was already the middle of the night UK time. And then we left New York late at night, their time, middle of the night, UK time, to fly back.
And I thought we could do your journey in kind of chronological order, which means we have to start with the latest intervention in British politics by Danny Dyer.
Yeah.
Which sounded like this.
I don't know who the Prime Minister is, mate. Do you? Yeah, no, but who is he? I don't understand. Anyone vote for him? Because I didn't vote for him. So I think we've had successive Prime Ministers that are... End of. Put that on the f***ing BBC.
Heavily bleeped, of course. How did Andy Burnham respond to Sir Danny Dyer's...
So I was on both ends of the arc of this story, by chance, because I started Monday in Brighton at the Lib Dem conference. And in fact, I was there on Sunday night. And just before I went out to see some folk in Brighton, I flicked on the tea time news on Sunday, including South East Today, which included the piece... Albeit not with that particular nugget of the conversation that Danny Dyer had had with our brilliant colleague who'd compiled the report, talking about the cleanliness of beaches or the absence of water. It was a lack of clean water. Some event that Danny Dyer had been at, Becky Hill, the singer, had been at. Anyway, I texted. Danny Dyer? No, no. No, I'm feeling... I'm showing my jet lag here, or just my general incompetence, because I'm... Shamefully, the name of our brilliant colleague who did that interview, Michael.
Michael at BBC Kent and BBC South East. I'm not sure how to pronounce his surname. Oh, a legend of the small boats coverage. Indeed. Indeed. And a brilliant guy. So I texted him saying, oh, that's a great piece about... Because he had a little line in it about Becky Hill being more used to number ones than the things she was talking about in the water. And he said, oh, well, that's not the half of it. The key thing is this particular thing. But then Andy Burnham did actually respond to it. Well, he did. But the thing is, we had the huddle on the plane on the way to New York where we all gather around. And it was Andy Burnham's first huddle. It's quite a thing because you're effectively doing a 45 minute interview with 30 journalists.
With no escape. With no escape. It's on the record, not on camera and not recorded, but you can quote him directly. We've all got our questions. We've decided in advance what those questions are and what the order is going to be.
How did Danny Dyer become part of the Newscast opening titles?
So it is effectively quite a scrutiny interview, albeit on lots of different topics. And when we got to the end of it and he was getting up to head back down to his seat, he said, no one asked me about Danny Dyer.
