NEWSNIGHT - Paxman vs Brand.

[redken1]

You used to think I was a bit of a knob?
Cheers mate! 

Can't believe how well Brand came across and how churlish Paxman looked.
He really is the voice of his generation.

"Used to"???? Lol only joking

Paxman has always been compulsive viewing for me with his all guns blazing interviewing technique, nailing politicians and allcomers' arses to the mast. His out of character tentative approach to interviewing Brand reminded me of the playground scenario where the established bully comes up against the new start and meets his match. PMSL

To be honest I dont feel that Paxman was phased at all by Brand, in all probability he could only agree with what he was saying when you see what his relationship has been like with politicians over the years. You only have to watch Paxman's interview with Blair to see what he's capable of . I reckon he was steering him to help draw him out...............

Andy, Never thought of it like that and you could be right. Loved Brand's sarcastic remark, "I'm not Michael Howard " with reference to the infamous Newsnight interview with the then Home Secretary. Remember it very well - Paxman at his best. Ave it!!!
