The panellists are asked what they discussed at the pre-programme dinner. Woodrow Wyatt gives a long disquisition, followed by a sharp retort from Margaret Thatcher that gets the audience's approval. Mrs Thatcher had been elected MP for Finchley for the first time three months earlier.
Woodrow Wyatt was then a Labour MP. He later became an avid follower of Mrs Thatcher and supported the Conservative Party under her leadership from 1975. Having lost his seat in the 1970 election, Wyatt became a newspaper journalist and penned the Voice of Reason column for the News of the World from 1983 to 1997.
