Here then are some stats about Emily Maitlis's relentless interrupting: a tally of the interruptions for each Tory leadership candidate on Our Next Prime Minister, with two types of interruption noted - (1) those that were proper pointed interruptions (i.e. the major kind) and (2) those that were intended to signal 'times up' and move on to the next candidate, or question or member of the public (i.e. the minor kind):
