Selector

I suspect my grandson's baby bath is bigger than the Newsnight/Channel 4 News gene pool.

Ian Katz' latest signing for Newsnight, as "Special Correspondent" (can't find that advertised), is Channel 4 reporter Katie Razzall. Katie is the daughter of Libdem peer Lord Razzall of Dazzle. She went to Oxford University - dad played cricket during his time there, studying law - and thence to the Liberal Democrat press office. Next to "factual entertainment" with Carlton TV, and then more serious journalism as an ITN news trainee, before joining Channel 4 News in 1999 as a producer.  She dated Damian Lewis, then married his mate Oliver Milburn, and home is Tufnell Park.

Oliver is an Old Etonian - currently 40, it's possible he might have been there when David Cameron was taking Oxbridge entrance. Their politics have diverged somewhat...
