The Telegraph has 'He died cowering behind his wife'.


Allegedly.

(Died cowering behind his wife, not the Telegraph allegedly had that as a headline!)

At least 3 great arguments for the BBC and the license fee.

I wouldn't say they're not valid comments, just rather predictable...! Wink

Yeah although correct me if i'm wrong, but he only appeared right at the end did he not? Perhaps he was also late, as otherwise you would hvae thought, instead of having both Alastair and Mary present, should have just had one, with James in NY.

I didn't say they were, just joking hence the Laughing

I suspect that ITV News will have Mark Austin co-anchoring all tomorrow's bulletins, even though very little "new" news would have come in.

"We think... we think... what do we think?" - Geraldo speaking for Fox News viewers everywhere.

That was painful to watch.

Never mind that, I want to hear what the Sun's foreign correspondent (Jo, 22, from Leicester) has to say about this.
