    Blocket : In the rough and tumble of parliamentary debate things are said that can often be misinterpreted but there was a lot of warmth there.

  • Steven Hench : [addressing man in studio audience]  You sir! What do you think about publicising people's personal sexual habits?

    [Man hides his face in hands]

    Woman in studio audience : I'm not his wife, go away please!

    Steven Hench : [to audience]  Anyone else from Doncaster?

  • Steven Hench : I'd better go and look after Percy, he gets a bit broody.

  • Steven Hench : [In radio studio]  How do you feel about the violent heckling which punctuated your speech?
