Before his interview with gulf war pilots Nichol and Peters, Terry explains that "For diplomatic reasons, we've been asked not to talk about the circumstances of their capture, or their treatment in captivity."
Despite this, there are several occasions where Terry very clearly tries to indirectly elicit information, the most obvious being his statement that one of the pilots looked in photographs as if he'd been beaten up.
Despite Terry's multiple skirting over the line of allowed questioning, there's only one instance in a jovial interview where a question is outright rejected. After being asked if they were instructed by their Iraqi captors to make any particular statement on TV broadcasts, Adrian Nichol is forced to say: "That's getting into an area that we haven't finished, er... being debriefed by our own people by, we can't really talk about that."
