Immigation debate....

I presume that this is to get viewer reaction economically, saves NN getting a phone and e-mail operation running for it.

I suspect that post cutbacks that this format will be used more frequently from now on.

any other thoughts?

Definetly not budget cuts kicking in as there was interactivity between Newsnight and Richard Bacon in the Five Live Studio, who spoke to callers on air and read out messages, which made great visuals. We've still got shots from FiveLive on the Red Button stream, don't think Richard realised he was still on air during the news, he was texting away, naughty boy! Interesting to see a radio studio at work in all its glory.

Wonder what Lorraine Heggessey thought of Richard Bacon presenting on Newsnight though.

In her current role at Talkback Thames?

Whether or not they were talking about The X Factor or The Bill?

Not much else really.

Wonder what odds you could have got after that incident of Richard Bacon ever presenting Newsnight.

Good job he wasn't doing something else, if you know what I mean!
