This is a global player original podcast.

Bye, Jove.

No, no, I'm just working out how I could be insulted by this as I do with everything that comes out of your mouth.

I know, you do.

I know.

Wasn't it good?

Wasn't it nice?

Are you joking?

What?

What was happening?

No, no. No.

Welcome to Where Politics Meets History with me, Ian Dale.

And it is normally, of course, Tessa Dunlop.

But she's only gone and got the lurgy. And for Tessa to cry off an episode of this podcast, I mean, you know it's serious. And of course, she's going to Madeira on Thursday with her dear mother. So she's in a bit of a panic about that. But I'm delighted to say we have a more than able substitute in Aggie Chambre, obviously's political correspondent, who used to substitute for Jackie on for the many, didn't you, on occasion? I did. Those were the days. So welcome back. Thank you so much. I'm so delighted to be here. Now, we are going to talk about Iran. We're going to talk about Peter Mandelson, and we're going to talk about Nadim Zahari. so there's not going to be a lot of history in this podcast it has to be said so i suggested to

Corey we should make this a one or four the many, but the little scoundrel lost his sense of fun and said no. But essentially that's what we're going to do, isn't it? I still don't know why he said no. I don't know. Because he just wants to disagree with me. That's what he's like. He just wants to make us unhappy. I know. Well, welcome to my world, Aggie.

Now, what have you been doing at the weekend? What have you not been doing more, more interestingly?

Well, yes. So I left work on Thursday evening and announced to the newsroom very excitedly that I was going to go to the cinema and watch Marty Supreme, at which point one Ian Dale stood up and said, you can't watch that.

Everyone that's watched that has walked out. It's absolutely awful. Do not go and watch that. So I phone my husband and said, actually, we shouldn't go and watch this. So I went

home. I didn't know you were so easily influenced. I didn't know either, but you were just so sure of

yourself. The only reason I said that, because obviously I haven't seen it, but I know people that have.

And mainly, I think it was feedlover and Jane Garvey on their podcast were talking about it and they

both knew people that had walked out so I just thought I had to pass that information on thank you
