It's a shame that Mishal presumably quite likes the Today role, because she is very much the gold-standard news presenter and interviewer in this country, but, for the general audience, just doesn't get enough outings. Would have been a fantastic choice for election nights and Sunday mornings.

Mishal has said recently that she is giving active thought to the next stage of her career. She isn't saying she is leaving the Today programme but has been on it I think for 11 years and gets up at 3am for it. Prior to that she had also done Breakfast. Mishal has always kept her hand in with TV so nothing is impossible and given she had hosted this evening that suggests that her capabilities are recognised.
