There’s a very poor standard of interviewing on the BBC.
F’rinstance:

Humphries: 45 minutes?

Beckett: John, you and I both know that was a statement that was made once…

(Humphries didn’t point out that Gilligan only used the phrase “sexed up” once about the dossier but the Govt. went nuts over it.)

Beckett: ….and it was thought to be of such little relevance…

It was of such little relevance that Bush used it in a radio address to the Nation.

“… according to the British government, could launch a biological or chemical attack in as little as 45 minutes after the order is given.”
