Biography
Tough, some might say damn right rude, journalist, author and newsreader. "Paxo" has been stuffing politicians on BBC2's Newsnight since 1989. From 1994, his whine of "Oh, do come on..." has been barked at hesitant students on University Challenge and its many themed spin-offs. He was given the job possibly as a consolation for not picking up the somewhat more prestigious role of chairing the BBC political institution Question Time. His books include a treatise on The English and the joys of fishing.
Trivia
He was once sent a stolen Enigma machine through the post.
Somewhat bizarrely, Paxo came 16th in a 2006 Readers Digest poll to find Britain's Silliest Celebrity. He was also voted Britain's Sexiest Brain in a Yougov poll the same year.
