Robert Peston: who else?

March 30, 2009

Is it surprising that Robert Peston won this year’s TV performer of the year award? He is, after all, ubiquitous. The BBC must be steeling itself for yet another scandal – how can one man legitimately win, when there is no one else to vote for?

Peston’s omnipresence is matched, in legal circles, by that of Mark Stephens. The Finers Stephens Innocent man is one of the UK’s premier media lawyers, but such is his ability to opine on diverse legal issues that Angry Harry runs a website devoted to his many and varied media appearances. Robert Peston, watch out.
