John Humphrys will stand in tonight for David Dimbleby as Chair of Question Time
David Dimbleby will not be chairing Ö÷²¥´óÐã One's Question Time this week – the first he has missed in over 15 years – but he will return next week. John Humphrys will temporarily take the chair tonight.
David Dimbleby was injured yesterday in a minor farming accident.
David was loading a bullock on to a trailer when the bullock reared, resulting in David being briefly knocked out. He also received a cut to the head that required stitches.
David is recovering well. He attended hospital yesterday but, as he received a head injury, he is staying there for observation.
This is just as a precaution, which is not unusual for a patient suffering concussion, and he should return home shortly.
David would like to thank the staff at the hospital and he looks forward to returning to Question Time next week.
He said: "I haven't missed a Question Time in over 15 years. Trust my wife's bullock to take me out. I'll be giving bullocks a wide berth in future."
