I enjoyed ITV’s new News Knight a lot more than I expected. It’s clearly trying to be a British answer to Jon Stewart’s Daily Show, with a bit of Have I Got News For You thrown in. And whilst a lot of the humour is derived from hearing the familiar voice of authority, Sir Trevor McDonald reading out some truly ludicrous lines, some of it genuinely made me laugh. I wonder how long that can last, though?
