Newsnight presenter Matt Chorley encouraged Rory Stewart and his fellow guests to create a viral moment ahead of the episode that has generated plenty of attention on social media.
Whether intentional or not, Stewart granted Chorley’s wish in the show’s first episode to air in the earlier slot of 7pm, on 18 September, ahead of which the host had quipped to the panellists: “Anything that can be used to go viral, maybe a punchup or whatever, a tiff at the table, if you want to do that, that’d be great.”
