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.
