Can I suggest that the former Newsnight presenter Peter Snow, who feels starved of the journalism that matters (Letters, 1 December), watches Channel 4 News? At 55 minutes, it has ample time for in-depth analysis, and the journalism is of the highest standard.

Why on earth would any self-respecting woman want to join a club where many of the members despise women (Most Garrick club members favour admitting women, poll reveals, 3 December)? And what does it say about men who might claim to respect women but are desperate to continue being members?
