Yet another seemingly bitter post about VD from you.
It's an election debate, the BBC NC used to often simulcast her old Five Live debates.


Not that you've ever been bitter about anyone or a format on here old chap.

Looks like this could be the twitter page for Victoria's show...

What the heck is that logo!

Audience debates, breaking news, original journalism and exclusive stories. Hmmm

And of course it simulcasts Question Time every week, hardly a 'desperate move', more money saving filling of airtime


You should really resist referring to her as VD by the way, just sounds wrong

I called it a desperate move as it's also a new show which will need the might of the BBC's cross promotion machine for it to work. The 5 Live simulcast despite being the norm as part of the general election coverage is another form of that.

Surely a new show is intended to improve ratings, and as such, there is bound to be a certain amount of promotion for it. These shows don't just attract viewers if nobody knows about it. The 5 live simulcast is just another way of promotion, and a good way of pooling resources.

No, you used the word 'desperate' because you don't like her/the idea behind the show


Giving a new programme a big push really is not an unusual thing especially on the BBC where they have outlets on different platforms

And according to that account, the programme will have four dedicated reporters - Dan Johnson, Catrin Nye, Jim Reed and Nicola Beckford.

I'm only vaguely aware of the 5 Live schedule - but doesn't Nicky Campbell have that slot? He does an hour on his own after the end of the Breakfast show? Will Deebyshire replace this?

Carol Kirkwood has tweeted that she will be providing the weather for Victoria's programme. Probably as expected as I think she already covers most of that slot.

It's only for one day.

Interestingly people are already making a judgement on this programme before it's even hit the schedules!
Watch day one, week one even, and then decide.
