Peter Hitchens is here with me this morning. We've got a great many things to discuss, including

the COVID inquiry, which is now supposedly going to get pretty explosive this week.

Former Boris Johnson-A. Dominic Cummings is expected to dish the dirt on the former Prime Minister

on Halloween, prompting claims he's going to face haunting questions, get it, on everything from

party gates and lockdowns. But also, of course, we've got many more things to discuss aside from that.

Front page of Telegraph today has got Boris Johnson

apparently favouring a soft touch like Sweden.

But if only we've listened to Peter Hitchens at the time,

that might have been very different kettle of fish.

But also, Peter, you wrote about Ofsted this week.

We're going to talk about education.

More interestingly as well, though, is an interview or a discussion, I suppose, more correctly,

that you had with Matthew Perry from Friends back in 2013, I think it was.

It's some long time ago.

Yeah.

Was that a news night episode?

It was when newsnight was still good, right?

Jeremy Paxman, yes.

When Newsnight was still actually a good program.

But when I went along, it was to discuss a rather obscure subject of drug courts.

And I thought that Molly Meacher, Lady Meacher, who was my main opponent, who looks like the sort of housewife who knits next to you on the bus.

Yes.
