That would appear to be missing the question mark.

He kind of reminds me of David Tennant with a speech impediment.

Although, I suspect Robert Peston actually has/had one, and works around it. Which would account for his weird inflections.

I think it's a technique to overcome a speech impediment...

The best thing Robert Peston did is move from the BBC so he no longer infects the news. Quite dire and a lightweight journalistically.

The affected delivery is designed to cover the shallowness of the content - except when he had insiders during the financial crisis. Kin ell a career based on insider info!!!

At least his back to politics - totally out of his depth when an economics correspondent

To be fair, it's better than a career built on press releases.

He just happened to be in the right place at the right time to break one of the biggest UK financial stories in decades.
