As a massive #universitychallenge devotee, here's wishing #jeremypaxman all the best for the future!

As he prepares to leave #UniversityChallenge, a profile of retiring host #JeremyPaxman

#Paxman is more than UC. He's done #Newsnight, redefining the political interview. And he's written some books.

Paxman has gently influenced UC, cheering for minorities, cheering for questions about minorities, and backing the student stars.

An irascible old grump, we will miss him something rotten.

If I were the #BBC, I wouldn't give #ElonMusk the oxygen of publicity, particularly given his attack on them. But they are prone to grovel for bullies.

This reporter was far too nice towards Musk. They needed a #JeremyPaxman to go for the jugular.

Unlike #GeorgeMonbiot, I instinctively distrusted #RussellBrand right from the start. The whole thing looked like a personality cult with him as the guru. I've never seen any of his videos, though I did see the car crash interview with #JeremyPaxman in which Brand says, "Don't bother to vote". That's the Original Sin as far as I'm concerned. So it doesn't surprise me that he's waded into conspiracy theories like Jesus demonstrating he can walk on water.
