The BBC says:
Gordon Brown should take part in a series of head-to-head television debates with opposition leaders, Sir Menzies Campbell has said.
The Liberal Democrat leader told the BBC's The World Tonight he wants a public showdown after the chancellor was elected Labour leader unopposed.
The idea is backed by Conservative leader David Cameron, who says a TV debate would "bring politics to life".
However a Labour source said the calls for a TV debate were "a silly stunt".
Yes, this whole idea is just silly. Of course the media love it because they love distractions. Why Campbell and Cameron would stoop so low is another matter. You would think that they had better things to do with their lives, like offer real policies.
