0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the political party. This one features outgoing conservative MP Alan
0:13.1	Duncan. It's been a Tory MP for 27 years, prominent during those shadow cabinet years from 1997 onwards.
0:21.3	Always seen as very funny and I always thought back then would end up being leader of the conservative
0:26.6	party at some point. So it shows what I know but he handles it all with great humour and some
0:31.7	phenomenal impressions. I'm not going to give any of them away but they're great and he's got
0:36.7	a fantastic story about what David Cameron said to me in Downing Street. Enjoy Alan Duncan.
0:44.0	Hello and evening everyone. Welcome to the show. Give me a chance to be here before.
0:55.1	Welcome back. Regularly, let's give you a chance to be here for the first time.
0:58.3	Welcome to the first time. Thank you very much for having us all here. Let's take a quick poll.

1:55.6	Incredible. I've taken it we've all watched this incredible interview last night.
2:02.1	The best piece of talent. I'm not saying it went bad for Jeremy Corbyn,
2:06.0	but Prince Andrews started doing public engagement.
2:10.8	He's relieved. He's not perspiring at all. I mean the whole thing. One of the best bits of
2:18.0	talent I've ever seen. I watched it. I watched it once. Just sat there stunned.
2:24.3	I've never felt like that. I saw the passion of the Christ.
2:29.6	The credits have ended and the whole cinema is just sat there with the lights to come up.
