Pardon ?

The pairing of Mishal Husain and Sarah Smith on Today brings together two rapid-fire readers. However, I would argue that when the producer/editor of the day asks them to rattle through the papers at 7.45, to help with timings, intelligibility goes out of the window. It's like listening to three minutes of those "terms and conditions", condensed by computer processing, on radio ads. 

Meanwhile, new editor Owenna Griffiths' hunt for a radio rottweiler to replace John Humphrys can probably be called off. Mishal's cold but pointed questioning of Business Minister Nadhim Zahawi on the the Conservative MP facing rape allegations was a model of polite fanging.
