I think you're generous. James came across as an obfuscator/liar, Roops has lost the plot and has handed the reins to someone who will bring his palace tumbling down, Brooks is brilliant and not about to fall into any pre-dug holes. Just my impression having seen the inquisition on the Grauniad's streaming service.

The custard tart was a treat, and seemed to wake Old Roop up a bit.

:D
