Newsnight

[GulPlum]

As the Brits (and some others) around here will know, Jeremy Paxman's main 
job is as presenter of "Newsnight", a late-evening news discussion 
programme on BBC2 (they take two or three major stories of the day and go 
into them in some detail).

This evening's programme (not hosted by Jeremy - he was on duty last night) 
included a discussion of his interview with JKR and the boy wizard's 
appeal.  Some interesting things were said though I'm sure that not 
everyone here would agree with the conclusions.

Each day's programme is made available online as a Real Video for 23 hours 
10mins (until the next day's programme starts) at 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/default.stm (click on the 
"latest programme" link on the menu on the right). The HP segment starts at
24 mins 29 (there's just a brief introduction, and then a blank screen for 
"copyright reasons" until 29 mins 42). It lasts about 10 minutes.

You have 22 hours from now to catch it. :-)

(I expect the issue will be raised again tomorrow night during the 
"Newsnight Review" slot so you may want to check it out.)

the programme on TV in the middle of the HP debate and thus doesn't know 
what was said during the "copyright blackout") :-(
