Low gear

Always good to see a fresh BBC News suit paraded to defend the largely indefensible on Newswatch. This weekend we welcome Toby Castle, Deputy News Editor.

Toby (Leeds Grammar and Dundee) came from ITN in the wake of Jonathan "Chopper" Munro. He likes cycling up hills, hence the homage-to-Bradley sideburns.

Over 5 minutes of Newswatch (starting at 4.57), Toby doesn't give an inch on a fortnight's bilious discharge of Royal 'news'. Indeed, he highlights the need to chase 'reaction' to the news of a Royal pregnancy as a reason for the extended coverage.
