Finally, to the studios of the BBC's beleaguered flagship programme Newsnight, where some consternation has been caused by Jeremy Paxman's recent failure to wear a tie while presenting the programme. Anyone wondering what this change in attire might have signified should thank God for the Daily Mail, which brilliantly adduced that it was obviously some kind of crazed sartorial semaphore for "I, Jeremy Paxman, care nothing about the ongoing investigation into Savile's alleged paedophilia and the suspected BBC cover-up of his activities." It also raised the important question of whether, "with the pulled Newsnight investigation into Jimmy Savile topping the news agenda, it was an appropriate time to debut the less formal new look", one that immediately sprang to Lost in Showbiz's lips when it first caught sight of Paxman, flagrantly displaying parts of his neck in a sneering one-man protest against decency. It fixes the BBC's inquisitor in chief with an unforgiving stare and says: Christ alive, Paxman, have you no shame? How will you express your blatant disregard for the furore surrounding the pervert Savile and the botched investigation into his monstrous activities next? Present Newsnight in a gold lame tracksuit, smoking a cigar?
