Quotes
Woman: [an episode held at the height of the 2009 MPs expenses scandal] Mrs. Beckett, are you going to pay back the £72,000 that you've taken, after your mealy-mouthed answer trying to explain yourself? And Mr. Campbell, how the hell do you get through £800 a month on food?
Menzies Campbell: Not £800 a month.

Still worth watching.

I've watched this show for many many years, and it's still good viewing, there is no fault with the format, I don't mind Fiona Bruce, though Dimbleby was the ultimate. However, The Politicians are now the issue, as I watch it there is an MP blatantly attempting to swindle the viewers in terms of Nurses in the NHS, the calibre of MP has fallen dramatically, that isn't the fault of the show, but it can be a totally frustrating watch. 7/10
