Neil

Just for completeness, the Andrew Neil Interviews (of Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson) were watched by an average audience of 1.9m on BBC1 - an 11.5% share of available tv viewers at 7pm on Friday. The unambitious set, with an office acoustic, had three named producers, a programme editor in Andrew Alexander, and an Editor in Rob Burley. No sign of a credit for the deft guiding hand of Newsgathering executive Jonathan Munro.

It's available on iPlayer for a year. The majestic wrangling-to-the floor of Bojo over Sir Kim Darroch by Mr Neil (wearing a small gingerish sporran on his head to mark the occasion) will be watched over and over on training courses. But students should also look out for Neil mutterings of his own opinions of other Bojo answers, which were not up to BBC standards.
