Next, we look forward to news of the BBC's plans for election coverage. It comes at a good time for News; they will claim, as ever, extra dosh from central funds, and shove plans for cuts onto the back burner.
Where will the election night show come from ? In 2017, it was Studio D in Elstree, which is also used by Children In Need for their big night, this year scheduled for 15th November. Huw will do the overnight; who gets the morning after ?
Newsgathering boss Jonathan Munro likes to be involved in the announcement of 'special' coverage. Will he be big-footed by Kamal Ahmed ? Last time there were debate-hosting duties for Emily Maitlis and Mishal Husain; will Emily be freed from Newsnight ? How hard can Mishal work ? Where does Andrew Neil fit in ? Has Professor John Curtice had a flu jab ? Will the shouty Question Time get as many specials under tyro Fiona as it did under patrician Dimblebore ? And how long will the Ten O'Clock News go on, and on, and on ? All VERY BIG QUESTIONS.
