It's live - it started at 9am

Does Matthew Wright read from the autocue or does he just do it off the cuff?

Mostly off the cuff - but with notes he doesn't always keep to.

That's what I thought. I think the panel must be given notes about statistics and background to the day's topics too. Although Darius seems very knowledgable and au fait with current affairs, I'm pretty sure he didn't know off-hand how many lesbian couples go for IVF every year.

He was sitting reading ther paper inbetween talking to people before it was televised, highlighting articles he thought were interesting. He's and intelligent lad - it comes over in this show.
