It's BBC presenter Simon McCoy's last day today.

Feisty but fair, the interview below is one of the most enjoyable I've ever done for Forest.

Unlike most interviews that allow the guest only one or two brief comments, this was a proper 'discussion' with the presenter rightly playing devil's advocate.

McCoy will be a big loss to BBC News. He never took himself too seriously and was all the better for it.

Update: He's joining GB News where he will work alongside Andrew Neil, by some stretch the most forensic political interviewer in the country who the BBC inexplicably allowed to walk away.
