Does Trevor’s return to the bongs leave a job for Ming?

With Sir Trevor McDonald fronting a returning News at Ten, there’s talk that he may not present the second series of News Knight.

I know what you’re thinking. Second series of News Knight?

That show was almost entirely based on the premise that they got a Sir (Knight, geddit??) to awkwardly read from auto-cue things that he was unlikely to say off-the-cuff - “fat white bastard” being the most famous example. So, they need a beknighted guy who has time on his hands and isn’t known for his sense of humour or his ability to present in a non-wooden manner.

My money’s on Sir Menzies Campbell.

Peter Fincham Update

BBC News have alerted me that Peter Fincham has resigned. Allegedly this is due to the publication of the report into the Misrepresentation Of The Queen. Today is also the eve of the second series of Robin Hood, which he also previously spoke out of turn about, as I covered in a previous blog post.

It’s actually one of the few LJ posts I reposted here, as I suspected I may want to refer to it again.

I am at some point soon going to get my arse in gear and start posting more regularly on this personal blog site. Upcoming topics include the iPod touch, Billie Piper, Board Game Geek, sauna etiquette, some belated musings on my recent trip to Australia. And why Facebook is like High School Musical. So add me to your RSS reader now! Or bookmark me, whatever suits you.
