The Guardian write an interesting article stating that Brown and Cameron are avoiding to confirm interviews with Newsnight interviewer Jeremy Paxman. It was disappointing to hear that Paxman wouldn't be hosting any of the debates, but the reasoning might be because the two parties don't want to risk the voters reactions after a grilling interview.
"Neither of the two party leaders seems in any rush to sign up for the Paxo treatment, even though invitations to the two men went out months ago. [...] One [BBC] insider said: "They are doing GMTV interviews, doing interviews with God knows who. On this they are running scared and using the TV debates as cover."- Guardian
However, it does sound like Nick Clegg has signed up for an interview, though he does already appear on Newsnight at times, so it's doubtful one nominee appearance will cause others to join.
