Paxo



"That's all from Newsnight tonight. It's all available again on the website along with our editor's pathetic pleas for you to send us your bits of home movies and the like so we can become the B.B.C.'s version of Animals Do The Funniest Things. Good night."

- Presenter Jeremy Paxman in a no-nonsense mood on Newsnight (2006). A compilation of his grouchiest weather reports lives here.

Thats brilliant, and obviously encouraged!
What exactly is the feel of the Newsnight show? Serious news with a non-serious presenter, or more like a Daily Show - all played for laughs?

It's hardcore political reporting. Paxman is the most feared interviewer in Britain by some way. He is serious, btw, he's just scathing about anything that doesn't meet his standards. Like weather...

What the Mod said. It's the Beeb's flagship serious news show, which makes these moments even more precious!

Good to hear from you, Aussie. When I finish updating here I may yet catch up on my friends' sites...
