Miliband: 'I used to sneak off and watch Dallas'
Labour Leader Ed Miliband says growing up with his Marxist father Ralph "wasn't Das Kapital round the breakfast table - I used to sneak off and watch Dallas."
He made the comments to Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
Presenter Kirsty Young asked Mr Miliband how political his household was when he was a teenager.
He replied that he'd often "pipe up and say something about politics" to dinner guests and his father would defend him saying; "just because he's 14 doesn't mean he doesn't understand it".
Mr Miliband explained: "I went into politics partly because our parents welcomed us into the conversation.
"But it wasn't Das Kapital round the breakfast table - I used to sneak off and watch Dallas on the telly much to my dad's disapproval."
