On the other hand, who knows what was cogitating in the mind of Ian Hislop. He seems rather intuitive about his fellow humans at times.

@@susanelainesanner to me, he always swims most intuitive when he knows something that he's not allowed to say. 12:36 rewatching a bit, some of it is very different from only 4 years ago =\

@@jaewok5G Good observations. They made me think. " . . . when he knows something that he's not allowed to say," AND when he independently discerns that to show-his-cards prematurely could block further communication with a good source. Just good judgment and responsibility on Ian Hislop's part, as an adult. It is interesting trying to read someone I'll never meet, especially when the media and "acting" are involved.
Good luck to us all.
