I'm surprised there's been no Twitter-flutter at the new arrival on Newsnight - yet another paper review.
The show now ends with up to five minutes of discussion of "comment" pieces from the next day's papers, reviewed, so far, by women journalists - Polly Toynbee, Deborah Orr, Rachel Sylvester, Katy Balls and Pippa Crerar.
Whatever the hacks' appearance fees, this is cheap tv. One producer to block book the guests weeks ahead; one to hand hold and sort the graphics on the night. And it makes it easier for the studio director to bring the show out on time.... Be braver, Esme.
