2.) Cameron forgot about the debt.
3.) Paxman was nonplussed.
4.) Co-host Kay Burley grilled Ed Miliband about beating his brother to the Labour leadership.
5.) Twitter was not best pleased.
Funny how Kay Burley spent 20 minutes basically heckling Ed Miliband. Didn't do that with Cameron, did she? #BattleForNumber10

Cameron is allowed 10 minutes to answer a question, yet with Miliband, Kay Burley is incessantly interrupting. #BattleForNumber10

Am confused whether Kay Burley is supposed to ask supplementaries? She didn't with Cameron but does with Miliband #BattleForNumber10

7.) Cameron spent the ad break entertaining the audience with lines from Bennie Hill's classic Ernie.
8.) Paxman was still unimpressed.
9.) And the polls gave Cameron a narrow victory on the night.
