Calm down, calm down.

You're as bonkers as he is then.

That was a bit odd, wasn't it?

Or was it?

Because I watched it the first time and I thought,

what's all the fuss about?

We should explain we're talking about a clip of Michael Gove that has been doing the rounds

But then I realised that if you are under the age of 30 or 40 maybe, you haven't got a

clue what, calm down, calm down actually refers to. And of course, it's a sketch from Harry

Enfield where he and a couple of his other colleagues were sort of playing scouses. And it really

sort of caught on at the time but I mean with curly keegan

perms and big moustaches yeah but everyone assumed he was on crack cocaine or something

well I don't think it was only a case of people not getting the rather old comedy reference.

I do think it was a bit weird.

Presumably that was a response to the Queen's speech, an interview following the Queen's speech, was it?

Yeah, I think so.

I think people felt it was perhaps not manifesting the seriousness that we might have wanted a minister of the crown to be showing at

that particular point. I mean, far be it from a politician to show any sign of humor or humanity

on an interview. We just want cloned robots now, don't we? Yeah.
