Stand by for Paxman fishing spot
Taking of Charlie Whelan, he tells me that Jeremy Paxman owes him a favour.
He claims to have done a deal with Paxo that if Gordon Brown agreed to do an interview with him during the election, then Jeremy would appear as a guest on the radio programme which Whelan presents for Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Scotland called Fly-Fishing with Charlie.
Gordon Brown is due to do his interview with Jeremy tomorrow, so Charlie now expects JP to go north to fulfill his side of the deal.
