In the first CoJo News Debrief, BBC political editor Nick Robinson talks politics, blogging and Top Gear.

On what was probably the longest Election Night in television history, Nick spoke about his gratitude to fellow political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg, who encouraged him to 'hang' on in there.

Nick's recent TV documentary, Five Days that Changed Britain, explores the events leading up to the creation of the coalition government which, Nick pointed out, is still in the honeymoon phase.

Nick spoke about his popular blog, Newslog, and explained why he doesn't give much time to the comments generated by his posts, much to his readers' annoyance.

As for Top Gear, Nick's lap time in a 'reasonably priced car' was trashed by Hollywood actors Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. But he doesn't seem bothered by this; the main thing is that his children finally think he's cool.

CoJo News Debrief is an ongoing series of conversations with journalists about the back story of their own news reports.
