It's John Humphreys of BBC Radio 4's Today. While Newsnight's Paxman has expressed no public wish to trip the light fantastic in the arms of a Siberian-born vamp, he took great delight in heckling Sergeant for stepping down at his press conference on Wednesday.
It's director Baz Luhrmann's Australia, according to a review in the Canberra Times, The film, which stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, has had mixed reviews. Woollies is in such trouble it could be sold for ã1, and the space station was 10 on Thursday.
It's the Brent Crude price, which fell below $50 a barrel this week after peaking at $147 a barrel in July. Sterling hit a 13-year low against a basket of other currencies used by major UK trading partners. Top of the Pops is coming back for Christmas after the BBC said it wouldn't, havining initially said it would.
It's Easyjet. Stem cells involved in the pioneering windpipe transplant were to be flown from Bristol to Barcelona, but on the day, check-in staff refused, leading medics to charter a private jet for ã14,000.
It's 330 meters (1,080 feet). And when the supertanker is fully laden, as it is now with 2m barrels, it is the weight of three aircraft carriers.
It's Susan. But as four-fifths are men, Susan is 51st on the list, according to data crunching by the Times. The leaked list of the names, occupations and contact details of the far-right party's 12,000 members was posted online on Sunday.
It's Sarah, but only by a few days. She turned 27 on Monday, three days before Kimberley. The pair are the eldest in the band.
