extreme embarrassment pressure

Politics I don't if, as Gawker suggests this is the worst on camera interview ever (especially with Jon Snow v. Zac Goldsmith still so recent) but the sight of the presenter trying to keep it together under extreme embarrassment pressure as a mayoral candidate offers another method for running down in the interview time is pretty special. I expect in the British version, the BBC would have been polite enough to allow the guitarist onto the set with Oona King.
