Last night I was on South Bank at the London Studios for the recording of this Sunday’s News Knight with Sir Trevor McDonald, the second show in this new series. I was hoping that Clive Anderson would be one of the comedians featured on Trevor’s “news team” but it was not to be. It was someone better! Alexander Armstrong, nine-times guest host of HIGNFY, joined Reginald D. Hunter and Marcus Brigstocke to dissect some of the week’s stories. I’ve always felt that what we see Marcus saying on TV and radio programmes is only half of what he actually said - as in, the strength of it - and I wasn’t disappointed. It also transpires he can do a remarkable impersonation of Moira Stewart, and he claims his favourite favour of ice cream is raspberry sorbet.

I was disappointed that Alexander spoke so little but, like Clive Anderson the previous week, it’s harder being on the end of the line as they both were. Watch out for a special hand-waving technique Reginald taught all the audience
