I'm getting REALLY old
I've been waking up to Today for the best part of 20 years, and used to really enjoy hearing John Humprys beasting some ministerial trouserstain.

But just lately, I'm getting very bored. Not least because Evan Davies seems to manage to get answers and expose hypocrisy just as easily without being such a bully. Intellectually, I know that this is just because all the politicos have have the media training that lets them deal with Humphrys, Paxman, etc., but emotionally it feels like something small but important inside me has died.

Though I dare say that when the Libservatives finally implode and the Tories go back to full smug mode, the need for interviewers who'll duff them up will return.
