Jeremy Paxman interviews Boris Johnson at the Tory Party Conference

Jeremy Paxman interviews Boris Johnson at the Conservative Party Conference during Newsnight on BBC 2, October 4th 2011. Stick with it - it gets more and more bonkers! The funniest piece of television I've seen for a long time!

    Paxo: "What's the difference between you and David Cameron?" Bojo: "Well, I'm the mayor of London and he's prime minister and what else, I'm older than him! I'm considerably heavier. erm what else. I beat him at tenis the other day, though I think he's probably better at tennis than I am..."

    Paxman was completely sussed on Johnson - it always was a stepping stone in the back of his mind for something else, and something even bigger, and in particular PM. He asked all the right questions. It was as obvious at the time as it is today or in the future for those looking back on this with hindsight.
