I agree, this would probably have worked better as a single N for Newsnight.
I can see what they were trying to do, it’s not a total failure but it doesn’t quite work for me.

Which I believe are hour long edits of previous editions - perhaps they'll put the 30 minute editions on afterwards?
Schedule has updated now. You were correct.
BBC TWO at 7pm next Wednesday is listed as being 'The Repair Shop'.

Talk about being negative.
Andrew Neil is widely acknowledged as the best political interviewer around right now.
I can’t see him suddenly becoming a failure overnight.
Explain to me where in my previous statement did I say/predict it would be a failure? I didn't. I like Andrew Neil, and I would have preferred This Week to have continued. Good Luck to Andrew - I hope it works, I just think it would be better in a slightly later slot.
So I guess it will be This Week in all but name? The only reason Andrew left This Week, and pulled the whole programme down with him with his exit was that he just found it too late at night. 7pm, up against the might of Emmerdale, The One Show and Channel 4 News - my guess it will fail after a few weeks, unless they can attract a loyal audience at 7pm.

Also that statement is a bit like saying “it will fail, unless it doesn’t”.

At least by keeping Andrew in a evening slot on BBC Two, it resolves the issues when Brexitcast takes over the This Week slot of having an accessible show for politics that isn't skewed towards one political issue.

I also said - unless they can attract a loyal audience at 7pm - I never said it will be an utter failure, time will tell if they get an audience, and I want it to succeed, as This Week did, it is just politics at 7pm is not appealing to viewers, with Channel 4 News doing their bit, I suggest a slightly later slot, before 10.00pm would be better.
