And tonight's theme carries on from comments earlier in the week about truth and spin. So, today both Mel Gibson and Paul Hogan reveal the outcome of several weeks strategising and drafting of talking points by their spin doctors, about the best ways of restoring the value of their respective brands.

Peter Beattie is so very much Troy McClure it wounds me ("you may remember me from such crises as our water infrastructure and Dr Patel").
