This is Steve Allen's A Little Bit Extra.

Leading Britain's Conversation.

You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Morning everybody, welcome along.

I nearly said the time actually for you then, which of course would have given it away,

wouldn't it?

If I told you the time, you were going, wait a minute, you record, this is not Friday, Steve,

this is Tuesday.

You're doing it on Tuesday.

You know the news in advance on your

program. And I go, you know, we do sometimes. We certainly predicted the downfall of Prince Andrew.

And of course, it happened. And he's on the front page, as you know, of every single newspaper.

It was making all the news bulletins. Because basically, the man's an idiot. I mean, it's as simple as that. Even the commentators have said he's not the brightest penny in the box. Also, apparently, the Queen had had a meeting the other, we don't normally do things like this on this bit of the programme, but the Queen had a meeting with Charles and with William, and they'd decided, because I don't think there's any love loss between Charles. I think what

Prince Andrew has done, you know, whether you believe any of it, whether you don't believe anyone,

he's brought shame on the royal family. And in the Queen's Jubilee year, you know, when it's

supposed to be all happy for her at her age, he's brought nothing but misery and shame to the family.

Yeah, I mean, I think the idea is get him out

as quickly. In fact, what would be best for him is to just bugger off somewhere else. Take his

ghastly ex-wife with him. Take the two, no, the kids are married now, so that's all. We can leave

them. But, you know, because Sarah Fergus has been going, oh, he's a good man, it's a good man. I think this proves he isn't a good man.

I don't care, excuse me, about the allegations.

Excuse me, I'm so overwrought with the whole thing.
