THE BBC's political editor Nick Robinson is used to interviewing prime ministers and others, stalking the corriders of power at Westminster.
But on Saturday it was his turn to face the questions.
He was at the 22nd Durham Book Festival to coincide with the publication of his book Nick Robinson: Live From Downing Street.
After talking to the sellout audience at Durham Town Hall about the history of the "troubled marriage" between politicians and broadcasters, he faced questions from the audience about his work for the BBC.
It was Robinson's first visit to Durham since he covered the Miners' Gala last year.
He said: “I love Durham. It's a beautiful city.”
Other highlights from over the weekend included visits from former minister Jack Straw, the BBC’s Gavin Esler and comedian Ben Miller.
The festival runs until tomorrow (Monday, October 27), ending with writers PD James and Ian Rankin discussing their trade in the hallowed surroundings of Durham Cathedral in an event dubbed Murder in the Cathedral.
