    As above, on BBC radio 4 each evening at 5pm.

    Yesterday (tue 22 may), first news item was Christine LeGarde's (of the IMF) comments on the economy. Robert Peston, Economics editor at the BBC did the piece and spent the opening minutes commenting on how "charming" ms LeGarde is, that he had met her several times, and she is a most "seductive" politician.

    Poor chap went round and round in circles (you could almost hear him getting redder and redder in the face), ultimately failing to recover - all along being further embarrassed by Eddie Mairs gentle jibes.

    It was extremely funny, especially as it was going out live on possibly the best BBC news show (IMHO).



    It can be heard on the iPlayer from about 5:30 mins into the show.
    We thought... you was... a... toad!

    Put Peston in a leisure centre and what have you got? Mr. Brittas. Remember him? Ever seen them both in the same place?

    Quote from Mr Mair, serious BBC anchorman, last friday:

    "you can hear the whole interview on our website, dowload the podcast, or put tinfoil on your head and wait for it to arrive.

    in other news..."
