“TV Deayton’s drugs romp with vice girl“
On the episode where the main news story of the week had been the allegations about Angus Deayton, the presenter was made the butt of almost every joke. The show opened as normal, but as soon as he asked Hislop the first question, Merton said, “This has been one news story of the week but the one I’m really interested in, Angus, is…” He and Hislop then managed to turn nearly every subsequent question into a comment on Deayton’s behaviour. Towards the end of the show Merton pretended to apologise for his behaviour and on behalf of his opposing captain for going to the trouble of bringing in newspapers showing the headlines, before unzipping his jacket to reveal the relevant News of the World front page printed on his t-shirt.

As the host tried to ask the first questions Merton interrupted, saying: “The story I’m interested in Angus, you and this prostitute, how did you get away without paying her?”
Hislop then pulled out a copy of the News of the World and started reading it out.
“‘He made me groan all night.’ What were you doing, reading the autocue?”
As Deayton continued to squirm, Merton told him: “I am surprised you had the nerve to turn up, you knew what it would be like.”
The host replied: “I did, because of you two.”
London Mayor Ken Livingstone joined in with the comment: “This is a day that Stephen Byers could have leaked more bad news.”
Deayton added: “All week.”
