On Tuesday, Newsnight will air an interview with former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in which Jeremy Paxman asked the ageing lothario whether he called current German Chancellor Angela Merkel an "unf*ckable lard-arse".

Let me say that once again: Paxo asks Berlusconi whether he called Merkel an "unf*ckable lard-arse"... on the BBC.

Strange times are these in which we live...

Fewer insane gun-nuts on Newsnight, so would he find it dull?

He'd put his hand on their shoulder, ask them if they take milk or sugar, then gently, but expertly, fillet his guests

The man who stepped down as Sky News' political editor said politics isn't as fun as it used to be, but can he be tempted over by Newsnight's Katz-era wackiness?

After he first presented the programme in 2002, it sparked over 50 calls to the BBC about his controversial style. Try, try again?

No pithy comment here. He actually would probably be pretty good.
Emily Maitlis(08 of10)

It'd be bump upwards from political editor to be the main face of the show.

"Those are the headlines. Happy, now?"
