@ColinTheMathmo @Martin_Whitworth No safety net. Even with a few words scribbled onto a scrap of paper while waiting for the questions the tension of trying to make sure you line up the thoughts in the right order is substantial.
One thing that makes it easier is knowing the presenter and being in the studio – you can see if they are following you, and you can sense if they need you to shut up.
