All the libel lawyers will tell you there's no libel any more, that everyone's given up.

I've seen the Pokemon movie, which is probably the worst movie ever made on any subject ever.

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.

I like making films about old people because they are repositories of amazing stories that they tell well. And they're incredibly good telly.

They may well say not only is this not true, but I will put in an injunction to prevent publication. No, stories don't go in unless I'm convinced by the people who write them that they're true. And if I'm wrong, then so be it.

As any editor will tell you, startling newsroom revelations are generally met with queries about where the information came from and how the reporter got it. Seriously startling revelations are followed by the vetting of libel lawyers.
