Poor old Jeremy Paxman. The end of his first big interview with the party leaders last night on BBC1 – against a backdrop reminiscent of a scene from Spooks – was marred by a coughing fit. Watch Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg take advantage of the unusual situation of the Newsnight presenter being silenced, 25 minutes and 15 seconds in. Keep some Strepsils handy for the next one Paxo.
