Review Show shift – an a-Paulin idea? Review Show shift – an a-Paulin idea?
(about 2 hours later)
As with all long-running BBC shows (Blue Peter, Doctor Who, BBC News management during the Savile crisis …), everyone has their favourite lineup – and BBC2's The Review Show/Late Review/Newsnight Review/Review (or whatever it's called this month) is no different. For Monkey, the classic period was late 90s Newsnight Late Review, with Mark Lawson presiding over a Friday night pantomime with bickering panellists including Tom Paulin, Allison Pearson and Tony Parsons (Monkey's late Friday night viewing these days is more likely to be The Walking Dead – fitting, after a long week at the coalface). Monkey's favourite was Paulin, who if memory serves, delighted in taking diametrically opposing view to his fellow panellists, usually beginning: "I thought it was awful …" or "I thought it was delightful …". Monkey can't wait for Paulin's review of the decision to shift the weekly Review Show to a monthly BBC4 slot.
