This runs a little under three minutes and it asks the musical question, "How many times can a politician avoid answering the same question?"
The politician is Michael Howard, who at the time of this interrogation was the Home Secretary in Great Britain. There was a controversy in 1997 when a report was about to come out about prison conditions and in particular, a series of escapes. Derek Lewis, who was in charge of the prison system, said that Howard had threatened to overrule him on a controversial decision. This would have been quite improper.
In the following clip, newsman Jeremy Paxman keeps repeating a question that Howard pretends to answer and doesn't. I wish more American journalists would do this but I'm afraid that if they did, no one who needs to be interviewed would ever consent to it. Paxman doesn't get an answer but apparently the interview so embarrassed Howard and created pressure on him that a few days later, he issued a statement denying that he'd issued the threat. He claimed he hadn't answered it on Paxman's show because he didn't recall and needed to check his records.
In any case, you probably won't care about the issue at hand but you might recognize the techniques of Answer Avoidance…
