Newsnight became Kneesnight* again last night, as Disco Queen Em sashayed between the three dance-floors provided by a dolled-up BBC Persian studio set. SO much magenta and cyan, it even overwhelmed the twinkly night-time view down Regent Street. And it proved a clear mismatch with the domestic backgrounds provided by the bulk of guests joining on Zoom. A bunch of coconuts awaits the first contributor to try a matching background, from, say, Studio 54 or Heaven.
*A soubriquet conceived by a former colleague, who firmly believes that knees should play no part in BBC News and Current Affairs.
