Hignfy.....last Night

[janzman]

What do you think of Steph's performance...Good value for money
Steph to Jeremy Paxman 'you really are a patronising git'..

[Tilly2]

The whole show was really entertaining. Jeremy Paxman did well to fend them all off.

Steph was quite capable of looking after herself.

THought Steph was great - loved the patronising git comment - because he was.

Paxo seemed to be unable to read the autocue; he was shouty, and unfunny.

Shame. I have previously really liked what he does both on Newsnigt and later. This did not do him any favours (in my opinion)

Who is Steph?

[Prudie]

Yeah who is Steph? I'm a great fan of Paxman but he was like a fish out of water last night, I found most of the show cringeworthy.

I thought it was very funny to see JP floundering. He took it in good stead though and even laughed occasionally.

[Cloverjo]

Everyone picked on JP a bit, but it comes with the show if you're going to be a shouty 'patronising git', as he was.

Did he really need to shout that loudly? Where did he think he was?

[melv16]

I thought Paxman was slightly pushed.

[melv16]

Pished lol

[ummmm]

Paxman was far too shouty.

[Prudie]

melv I agree, I thought he was a bit slurry

[hc4361]

Steph is also a presenter on Watchdog. I like her and thought she was great last night

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, Paxman was poor and was, quite rightly, put in his place several times.

[Caribeing]

Great to see HIGNFY back on telly, Jeremy didseem somewhat flummoxed not the usual man in charge

[douglas9401]

Steph is a star. :-)

[woofgang]

I thought it was all a put on....Paxo not dealing with Uni students but with grown ups.

[Cloverjo]

But, Ian Hislop seemed slightly cowed by JP. He wasn't his useful self, even though he tried.
