SM
A couple of thoughts on the structure; I found it interesting that they led with the main political interview rather than end with it (as Marr does) and wonder if that's because they think people may switch off if they start with other things. Secondly the interview with Louis T was pretty dreadful, Peston didn't give him time to answer the questions and I found it odd that there was no clips of the show. I also thought it was interesting they name checked the Chancellor 3-4 times within the first segment of the interview which makes me wonder if they are aiming to attract people who aren't regular politics show viewers rather than Marr viewers, in which case sandwiching it between Marr and SP seems a little odd as I think it would probably be better at a different time.
Peston On Sunday
As a regular viewer of Marr I'd be interest to see how this shows progresses but my first impression was that it's a bit gimmicky and probably not something I'll return to week in week out.A couple of thoughts on the structure; I found it interesting that they led with the main political interview rather than end with it (as Marr does) and wonder if that's because they think people may switch off if they start with other things.
