SIR – I was half watching Newsnight last week, where Gavin Esler was interviewing a politician from the Labour Party, I think.

But what really made me take notice, was when Gavin said it was from Leeds. It clearly showed a live background shot of the Odeon looking splendid with its twin towers in full view. It looks like it was taken from high up in Central Library.

My point is that this is the building the Council is determined to pull down. I wonder if the BBC will still use that shot when it is a boring hotel?
