  • paxman is the best

  • Now watch: watch?v=jgJn3155WBU

  • PAXMAN A GRADE A ASSHOLE

  • Paxman's become less posh

  • Old bag went on too long....

  • i love newsnights old intro! :)

  • love thatchers coat :) long live thatcher-she have won every election in 90's!

  • @angliaknightident I doubt it. Her bullying, forceful style of leadership, 11 years of her and the poll tax along with a government increasingly isolated from the real world (Section 28) killed off her leadership.

    After she resigned Tory opinion pols improved drastically. Before they had been below Labour since February 1989! The poll tax didn't help and that is why they dumped her when she needed to go.

  • @AidanLunn *polls

  • This was Tuesday, 6 November 1990. Geoffrey Howe had resigned on Thursday 1 November but his devastating resignation speech was not made until Tuesday 13 November. Heseltine announced his candidature the following day.

  • jesus, how long has paxo been doing newsnight?

  • @leonardsleopard According to Wikipedia, since 1989.

  • The young Paxo should have stood, lol!

  • Michael Hesseltine firmly said it won't be him! So he was lying then, wasn't he!

  • @planningto He is always lying.

  • He didn't seem to be sneer at everyone and everything in those days. That's a bit disappointing.

  • @GusF 20 years on Paxo has become old and cynical...GR8 stuff

  • it only just occurs to me how brilliant a portrayal by Chris Morris was

  • id rather take a chance on cameron than stick with brown. labour cant be trusted to cut so our taxes will go up up and up

  • Brown's going to call a new election soon. Will Cameron be that different from Brown? i don't see it.

  • @whereismybailouttv Things will be worse under Cameron

  • @ramsayno9 After what has gone on with News International you couldn't be more wrong and here is hoping that he may well resign!!!!!

  • Thanks Eric!

  • You can see where Chris Morris got the idea for The Day Today opening titles looking at the titles for this.

  • There had been a leadership election in 1989.

  • Paxman sounds a bit toffier than he does these days.

  • Wow! Thanks for the vintage clip Eric!
