They say the definition of middle age is looking forward to Newsnight, and being young at heart I don't normally bother with it. But last night (Thursday) I happened to watch it and they had among others David Milliband (Foreign Secretary), Christopher Hitchens grumpy as ever, and a lady called Shami Chakrabati (Director of "Liberty") who I thought put on a good show.
At times I almost felt sorry for Milliband, pulling agonized faces and frowning as he recoiled under a constant onslaught from guests and audience alike (and a hideously embarrasing quote of his from last year about Gordon Brown, which Dimbleby gleefully read out); but he handled some questions with good humour, and came out of his corner fighting once or twice.
Gordon Brown must have been sobbing into his hands as he watched the program
Anyone else see it?
