ADD QUOTES
- (on not being a scout) Ian Hislop: I talked to some Scouts and felt mildly embarrassed that I'd been snotty about it. There were some quite tough lads saying, "This is a brilliant thing and it's kept me on the straight and narrow, and we're very grateful about it." I felt I'd rather missed out.

- Ian Hislop: Internet journalism is not a world we know very well at all. It's conducted more on the screen and less in bars, which makes it rather less useful for getting stories about people throwing up over one another, which is what one's after.

- (on belief). Ian Hislop: My father died when I was 12, which I'm sure had some bearing on my belief. If you're an atheist, death drives you away by proving that it's all pointless; if you're not, it makes you go back and face it — it's one of the rituals that Anglicanism is terribly good at.
