Melvyn Bragg rather outshone and outluvvied ITV News business editor Mark Eddo at 10.30pm. Eddo didn’t mention the line from Grade about looking at the news:
I think news is very very important for a big network. And it is very interesting that in the competitive situation in America, although they’ve cut back the investment in news on the major networks, they’re still there in prime time, they’re still an important part of saying to the world ‘we are a serious network’
The Guardian spun that into bringing back News at Ten. Ah, print and television – two different worlds!
