Knockout

ITV's News at Ten beat the BBC's Ten O'Clock News in the ratings last night - mainly because BBC1's live coverage of Chelsea v Norwich in the FA Cup started late, thanks to the District Line and then went to extra time and penalties.

ITV's bulletin was watched by an average of 2.95m according to the overnights, a 17.5% share of the available audience. The BBC bulletin, which arrived at 22.50, got an average of 2.88m, a 26.9% share.  It might be amusing if anyone can track down a Newsnight figure.

Rugby fan and newscaster Huw Edwards (last year's BBC earnings between £550k and £599,999) demonstrated his expensive taste in footwear, at four minutes past ten.
