Ha. So I wasn't the only person who had a problem with the way Sian Williams interviewed Gordon Brown the other day in Breakfast. And I didn't even see it, I just heard the TV from my room and already knew she was Doing It Wrong. There's sharp, smart interviewing that forces a politician to answer a question, then there is "I want to look like I'm good at this" interviewing, asking a question and them interrupting endlessly even though for once a politician is actually trying to answer the question that's been asked. Fail.

Yes, I really don't like people who think they're awesome or pretend they are awesome when all they're doing is parading their fail.

The BBC should stick to Jeremy Paxman. Now he is a good interviewer for politicians.

Interviewing 101:
1: open ended questions
2: get them to repeat the subject matter in the sentence or the question
3: Probe
4: ???
5: PROFIT
