Heard on Newsnight:

"Martha is being punished for some offense in a previous life by having to present tomorrow night's programme. If you'd like more details on any of the stories covered tonight, they're all on our website-- along with a pathetic plea from our editors to send us your old bits of home movies so that we can become some BBC version of Animals Do The Funniest Things. Goodnight."

I think Jeremy Paxman just edged ahead of John Snow in the News Anchor I Shall Someday Marry competition.

My favourite examples of Paxman sneering are in response to some higher-ups deciding that Newnight should do weather reports. They must be on youtube somewhere as simply deliciously scathing.

I hope Paxman can have a couple wives. I have the worst crush on him!

The Paxman may have many wives, for he is mighty.
