The otherwise-republican Paxman's On Royalty, which entailed the cooperation of Britain's royal family, became by the time it was published in 2006, to his own surprise and somewhat to the surprise of others, a defence of the country's constitutional monarchy.

While John Birt was Director General of the BBC, the British press from time to time reported Paxman's criticism of his boss.

More recently, he has been described as " the archetypal floating voter ", and Jon Snow once said that Paxman's greatest strength was being " not very political ".

The complaint claimed that the Newsnight team spoke only to people who held opinions against either Michael Howard or the Conservatives and that Paxman's style was bullying and unnecessarily aggressive.

Paxman's tenure was relatively short for a broadcaster of his stature because his aggressive style of interviewing was not considered compatible with the programme.

Paxman's first book, A Higher Form of Killing ( 1982 ), written with then BBC colleague and friend Robert Harris, arose out of an edition of the Panorama programme they had made together on biological and chemical warfare.

During the 2005 General Election some viewers complained to the BBC that Paxman's robust questioning of party leaders had been rude and aggressive.

Paxman's brusque manner is not restricted to political interviews.

From 27 February 2012, the BBC is broadcasting Paxman's series Empire, examining the history and legacy of the British Empire.

" Paxman's most recent book is a study of the British Empire, Empire: What Ruling the World Did to the British.

Paxman's controversial remarks about the Scots have provoked anger at parliamentary level.

Paxman's response served further to fan the flames.

Paxman's fellow presenters are Gavin Esler, Kirsty Wark and Emily Maitlis.
