I don't think the transcripts had things like "<laughter>" which you get
in Hansard from time to time, but every rambling and incoherent
off-the-cuff reply to a pointed question was there, verbatim.
People who sounded quite good when "live" looked like idiots when the
words were written down. (More media training required, obviously!!)
If the webcast was still available (I'm not sure, but there's no
particular reason why not) you'd see all the body language too.
