Webb master

Justin Webb is back from calling the US Presidential Election, and straight back into the groove. The early morning paper review, one of the longest pieces of script a Today presenter handles, is taken as a vocal warm-up, scooping up and down, fading in and out, emphasising all THE wrong words, and gabbling. Can't get back to ME asking questions soon enough. 

Mr Webb's trademark is the second question, constructed, apparently, around something the interviewee has just said, with 'and that's the point, isn't it' as a way of introducing a re-statement of the opening  question. Once heard, always remembered....
