It always amuses me when you get stories about the BBC being reported on by the BBC, with comments like "nobody from the BBC was available to comment".

Bonus points earned when it's a story about BBC News to boot.


The Newsnight programme about Newsnight which was presented by Eddie Mair had the memorable line “No one from Newsnight was available to comment” followed by a knowing look.


Wasn't it that one, at 8:59?

Yes, that’s the one. The programme is also notable for Mair’s sign off “Newsnight will be back on Monday. Probably.” followed by the extremely rare full close with theme tune.
