I also see that C4 News presenter Jon Snow is interviewing Paxman on tonight's programme - game of thrones of another sort - although Paxman leaving will remove his claim to any throne!!

Don't Paxman and Snow get on quite well, isn't there a photo of the two of them in the C4 Studio together.

They're so similar that they'd either have to get on or hate each other.
Jon Snow's 'interview' with Paxo shown on C4 News just now was a brilliant and hilarious conversation between two stalwarts of British news broadcasting.
It was amusing to consider who was interviewing who in the end, as they clearly have a great deal of respect for each other - despite the banter.
It obviously wasn't supposed to be an entirely serious interview, but it was still worth watching to see, as Stuart said, two news legends in humorous conversation.
Nothing too interesting so far. I thought it was going to be like one of those episodes of Noel's House Party where the crew all play jokes on him and nothing goes the way Paxman is expecting.
When he introduced John Simpson, it should have been Michael Howard who appeared on the screen, he could have turned the tables on Paxman and actually interviewed him instead.
When the Iraqi Ambassador to the United States was being interviewed, it would have been good if he had started saying more and more ridiculous things until at the end of the interview he takes off his prosthetic mask and it is revealed to be Tony Blair who is actually in the next studio and not in Washington at all.
When Paxman thinks it is the end of the programme (which has actually been specially extended without him knowing), Boris Johnson comes out and tells us some amusing and embarrassing anecdotes about him. He could would also reveal the fact that his middle name is Dickson. He could also hold up a pair of M&S pants with a hole in and pretend they belong to Paxman.
At the end of the programme, a traditional gunge tank is revealed and Tony Blair and Boris Johnson playfully force Paxman in to it. As the credits roll and Paxman is covered in gunge, Michael Howard presents him with a [replica] Enigma machine.
There is still time for some of this to happen but the more I watch the more unlikely it is beginning to look.
