Fresh from the political row over his duping of Margaret Beckett, impressionist Rory Bremner has come up with some fascinating insights into Alastair Campbell and his own tactics with the fourth estate. "Alastair Campbell once objected to the way he was shown in my series and actually said to me: 'who's that fat bastard playing me?'. [It was actor Andrew Dunn]. He then showed me his exercise routine, bench presses and running and so on to prove how fit he was. But soon after that there was a story in the Express saying that we were thinking of getting rid of Andrew Dunn because he was too fat. There were only two people having that conversation and I certainly didn't tell the Express that. It showed how he works."
