Friday Night with Jonathan Ross
The interview with British politician David Cameron on June 23, 2006 was the first with a politician and arguably the most controversial in the history of the chat show. The house band played True Blue by Madonna upon his entrance. The leader of the Conservative Party was jokingly asked by Ross if he had ever had "schoolboy sexual fantasies" with former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.[4] They also discussed British politics and in particular the future of the Conservative Party. The interview drew both praise and complaints from viewers and Cameron was criticised by political figures such as Norman Tebbit, for agreeing to appear on the show in the first place. However Ofcom rejected viewer complaints, stating Ross had a "well established presenting style which is deliberately provocative" and was not in breach of the rules.[5]
