Forgot to put this on Yesterday...It started last night...Rather Funny too!
News Knight is a brand new satirical comedy series hosted by the legendary news anchor Sir Trevor McDonald and his 'News Knight team' which includes Marcus Brigstocke and two other well known comedians, who will change each week, appearing along side them.
News Knight will see Sir Trevor McDonald deliver the top news stories of the week in his own inimitable style, inviting his news team to present their own reports on what has got Great Britian talking over the last seven days.
This is not a quiz or a panel show but a comedy series that allows viewers to take a side-wards visual and humorous observational look at the week's headlines.
Top stand-up comedian Marcus Brigstocke is more than qualified for the challenge of working closely with Sir Trevor on News Knight; he currently hosts the popular ‘Late Edition’ show on BBC4 and can be heard regularly on BBC Radio 4.
Sir Trevor says: "I'm looking forward to hosting this show as it will give me the chance to approach the news headlines from another perspective.
"I've been a part of the news at ITV for over 30 years now and this new show will let me show viewers another side to my personality.
I have a great team on board and I’m particularly excited about working with Marcus Brigstocke."
Sunday 24 June 2007 10:00pm - 10:30pm on ITV1.

I saw a bit of this last night. I don't think Trevor looked too comfortable reading some of his lines. He's too used to being a serious newsreader. I was half-expecting a few buckets of water to be thrown at him after he delivered the punchlines! That said though, maybe Trevor will get the taste of comedy and go on a stand-up tour. Now I'd pay good money to see that!
