well, i'm joined now by nigel bonson, who is one of the viewers who contacted us about this and he isfield studio. nigel, why were you unhappy with the bbc‘s decision not to broadcast the video? well, i was up waiting for it, as many people were i'm sure. i waited for the interview to be broadcast and it's to be broadcast and itjust didn't happen. i didn't see any apology or any explanation until later. what you just mentioned about that explanation might involve internal politics between the normal process of the bbc and others going into number ten, but as far as the public‘s concerned, and as far as i was concerned, itjust didn't matter. i don't think the public care how it's done, they wanted to hear the prime minister's address. so, the bbc might say they did report what he said, including reporting in advance all day what he was going to say and that audiences did get informed on the news content. well, i certainly wasn't informed. but as far as i'm concerned what they reported in short, snappy bits during the day is irrelevant. i, and i'm sure others, wanted to hear the prime m
