Matt Barbet read the news headlines and Peter Sissions reviewed the Sunday newspapers with Nicky Clarke and Edwina Currie. Peter questioned the new Communities and Local Government Secretary, Hazel Blears MP about the recent flooding, its aftermath and who is going to pay for it all. As Operation Banner, the British Army deployment in Northern Ireland, comes to an end after more than 40 years, General Sir Mike Jackson talks about his tours of duty in the Province during the early seventies. William Haig MP, the shadow Foreign Secretary, talks about the current state of the Tory leadership and the Tory chances in the next general election. Peter interviewed actor David Suchet about his current play in the West End, his ongoing work as Agatha Christie's Poirot and his new disaster movie, the very topical "Flood".
