Why does Eddie Mair feel compelled to introduce the Newsnight headlines standing with his hands in his pockets?

Is this some kind of differentiation to make him seem different from the other presenters? (like the slobby way Paul Mason sometimes appears without a tie).

If Eddie Mair is unsure what to do with his hands perhaps they could give him a clipboard to hold.

These people are paid a lot of money from public funds to appear on television, so why do they show such contempt for their audience?

Or is this some kind of protest against bourgeois conventions?
