A quote from an article by Nick Cohen in Saturday's (I think) Guardian

My phone isn't letting me do links - sorry! But try googling it if you are interested.

We aren't not at home but away staying with family - miss the DP!

I agree GGmk2 - DP today had some good discussions - I think that Sarah Smith facilitates the debates well - she is an improvement on Jo Coburn who seems to have become very "interviewer-centric" - not sure how to describe what I mean - but it's when the interviewer is just trying to trap the interviewee to show the audience how clever they (the interviewer) are - so they'll ask questions that they know a politician is not in a position to answer or they'll keep interrupting - rather than help to inform the audience.

dp I couldn't agree more and know exactly what you mean. They have got too clever by half and never let anyone develop their argument etc. I think that there is a lot wrong with the way people are interviewed at the moment and the lack of balance in the BBC
