   Dimbleby / John Major, April 1997   
      
   Certainty level: 90%   
      
   Dimbleby interviews John Major during the election campaign. Here is   
   the exchange, regarding Neil Hamilton, the "sleazy" Tory candidate;   
      
   Dimbleby: "It's a direct quotation from what he said to Sir Gordon Downey   
   and what he said to his local newspaper, the Knutsford Guardian".   
   Major: "Well, heaven forfend that I should doubt what the Knutsford   
   Guardian actually said"   
   Dimbleby: "Well I should hope so"   
   Major: "Absolutely, it would be quite unforgivable to doubt the   
   Knutsford Guardian"   
      
   What I find in this segment is an assonance between "Knutsford" and "Nut"   
   or "Nuts". I think Dimbleby deliberately invents the play on words,   
   and says it clearly enough for Major to pick it up and repeat it.   
   You can gauge Dimbleby's intent from his facial expression of false   
   honesty when he uses the words "Knutsford Guardian"; and Major's reaction   
   follows from his recognition of Dimbleby's intent; Major smiles and says   
   it would be "unforgivable to doubt the Knutsford Guardian".   
   These are much clearer on the original video than on this Quicktime clip.
