Jeremy Paxman

Jeremy Paxman is a BBC newsman whose career has diversified into the presentation of a number of other programmes, including the quiz programme, University Challenge. He is well-known for his abrasive and forthright manner.

He once repeatedly put the same question to a politician who was evading it (anyone remember who & how many times?)

Paxman became a focus of media attention in his own right in October 2000 when the stolen Enigma machine which had been taken from Bletchley Park Museum was inexplicably returned to him.
