Quagmire from Family Guy lookalike Iain Gray MSP is a man on a mission. A mission to get the hell out of the BBC's Edinburgh studio. Look at his eyes, darting away from camera every 20 seconds, desperately seeking an illuminated 'FIRE EXIT' sign to make quick his escape. Sadly for Iain, and happily for Gordon Brewer and us, he's going nowhere. Apologies for the audio sync issues.

The Chancellor Gordon Brown, spends the day chatting to children in yet another political PR stunt. But Gordon, what you should be aware of, is that there's a fine line between trying to soften your image and just looking incredibly silly. Furthermore, what would the "Iron Chancellor" in you think about all this faffing around?
