I must admit my first, gut, reaction was "what the **** are they doing with those interviews?"
But thinking about it I tend to agree with Ginger – this is not a normal run of the mill Saturday meeting and the audience is more diverse than normal.
I think Clare handled the interview with the handler well and if he hadn’t wanted to speak then no doubt he would not have agreed to the interview. In the circumstances if anyone had to be interviewed immediately I’d rather it been the lad than Jane Cecil.
I do agree with "admiral" about the "studio" discussion which did hint at circling the wagons and getting the defence in first.
