Did anyone else see Andrew Marr interviewing Arron Banks on his BBC1 show this morning?.
Crickey Marr worked himself up into a tizzy!. I just wanted to tell him to calm down and relax a bit like Banks.
I don't think it can do anyone any good to get that worked up over it all :eek

I didn't see it, but Marr used to have my respect as a journalist (and his recent series on The History of the World was excellent). If he is going that way too - and just after we got rid of that idiot Evan Davies from Newsnight, leaving only Emily Meritless to go - then I despair of the BBC. Although many did years ago.
Still, they still have Mark Urban, ex-Army tank officer, who is adopting more responsibility for presenting lately. Perhaps with his background, he'll be a bit more non-partisan, less "OMG!!!!!!" emotional (and he has written some good books on military history and presented a good documentary on tank warfare in WW2 too).

I think every presenter of BBC news/current affairs/debate programmes should be impartial and all pannelists should be given equal time.
I've heard a rumour that Victoria Derbyshire is being mooted as the replacement host when David Dimbleby retires from 'Question Time' soon. That'l be the last time I tune into that show if there's any truth in that rumour :lol
I find some of the 'topical comedy show's' unwatchable/listenable now. 'Have I Got News For You' on BBC1 and 'The News Quiz' on Radio4 are a couple of good examples. The mickey taking should be split 50/50 between left and right. Goodness knows what the figure for The News Quiz is. Must be something like 90/10!. You really don't need me to tell you which way that's split do you? :lol . It makes them boring IMHO :z
