It's child actor Marquez, as described by Andy Hamilton, director of the BBC sitcom Outnumbered. The children in the series aren't given a script, and instead ad lib their caustic lines. Anderson is starring in pantomime in Wimbledon.
It's because Unite, the union, balloted about 800 members who had taken voluntary redundancy. There had been an 80% turnout.
It was Michael, asked by Evans why he had never appeared on the BBC's Top Gear. Meanwhile, after Paul Gogarty's outburst it emerged the f-word is not banned in the Irish parliament.
