Full credit to Big Bad Al Campbell for his coaching in the lead up to the interview because at least he was laughing and grinning in the right places this time.
Many commentators wonder if this interview has swung momentum back to Brown. If the figures released are to be believed then it has to be a rousanding no. The graph below suggests that out of all the guests on Morgan's show only Boris Becker attracted less viewers:
There were some parts of the interview that made uncomfortable viewing. It reminded me of when David Cameron appeared on the Johnathon Ross show. For me, leaders of political parties should not be doing these type of stunt interviews.
What it didn't do however was dispel the rumour that Brown is bonkers. 'Moron' Morgan asked the question what is the strangest gift you have received as PM? Brown's response was a roasted pig from a Middle Eastern country. As most of the middle east countries have Islamic faith a roasted pig would be seen as an insult and I doubt that Israel gave this as a gift.
It is also interesting to note that upon checking the items declared to the UK as gifts there is nothing mentioned about a roasted pig.
One thing that can be guaranteed is that given the choice beetween telling a porkie and the truth we all know what Gordon will choose...and pigs might fly!

I did not see all of the interview, about half in fact. Despite this, I think, judging by your comments, that there must have been two versions of the show aired.
I will agree that this does nothing to alter voter intentions. This was not its purpose. It was seeking to redress the vile reportage that has accompanied our Prime Minister's tenure in office.
Quite why you have to be so rude about Piers Morgan is beyond me - I thought such prurient remarks would be beneath a holder of public office.
