Jeremy Paxman in Dulwich

[Mrs TP]

Never mind the royals, pretty sure I saw Jeremy Paxman suited and chatting to a bunch of other suits in, bizarrely, the car park of Gallery Road tennis courts yesterday evening (Mon 16 Aug). No clues on Newsnight last night at to what he was up to but then I did fall asleep before the end of it.

[Loz]

Q: Why is the closing music to Newsnight so loud?

A: To wake you up.

Erm... All the women out there with a shameless crush on him? Ie me. So that makes 1 at least ;)

you cannot have a crush on a man who is so up his own xrse as to write those letters about underwear to m and s

Just to dampen your ardour - Jeremy is made to look like a prat.

[uncleglen]

We lke him in our house- he asks awkward questions of annoying people and hangs on like a pit-bull!

[Damian H]

He has become a parody of himself though. He attacks and talks over people when it is completely unecessary as they are actually trying to answer him.

Brian Waldn was an infinitely more effective political interviewer.

Knowing what things were like in those days Brian Walden probably wasn't allowed to say half of what he wanted.

I didnt know Gallery Road Tennis courts had a car park - Im excited about that!

what uncleglen said

[Mick Mac]

Much prefer Paxman to Walden. Walden used to pick up on very minor points and nag nag nag,,,, to the point that the interview had no real conclusion.

Find there is better chemistry between Paxman and interviewee, generally , but not always.

Do the relative merits of the interview techniques of Jezza and Brian really merit a top billing on the front page of the East Dulwich Forum? Walden was a right-wing nut as far as I remember, even though he'd been a Labour MP early in his career. His interviews were biased and kept the pressure off the then Thatcher government.

Don't know where you get that from TQ. I believe Walden's interviews of Thatcher herself when she was under pressure to quit were regarded as being utterly relentless and merciless.

[uncleglen]

I thought Jezza referred to Jeremy Clarkson?

Jezza is a generic abbreviated of Jeremy (but not one that I approve of).
