The Sunday Edition just seemed to me a relic from political programmes of days gone by....Andrew didn't seem to have the charisma, and Andrea wasn't the most inspired of choices either. It lacked pace, and the features were often dull, not taking anything from a new angle.
Actually, IMO the content had nothing new...nothing that couldn't be seen on the Daily Politics/Politics Show/Sunday AM/This Week, or Adam Boulton, even Newsnight and C4 news....it just seems irrelevant now....but I suppose we'd all moan that ITV doesnt have a political show...
The final-era Dimbelby shows, which dropped the audience were much better IMO than The Sunday Edition

Isn't that the point that they are all the same, they all get big interviews on rotation, some end up as exclusives, which are then used in the Sunday evening news programmes
One thing that p***ed me off about The Sunday Edition was the washed out, blured camera shots. Anyone know what caused this? Compared to The Politics Show, which is crystal clear, it looked so poor, and like it was some cheap production.

Tottaly agree, but its probably just ITV running things on the cheap. Poor picture quality, it's not in widescreen etc. The camera shots are awful, they are far to zoomed in on guests/hosts. The presentation is bland and overall the whole show is dull.
Ratings for Rawnsley and Catherwood are terrible. They should have left Dimbleby on the show and not b****red around with it.
I thought it was Dimbleby's choice to quit the show rather than ITV axing it?
They should have given it to Alastair Stewart in the first place anyway, although I cannot see the Moral Of The Story working in the morning, the same format that has been on ITV for the last 35 years has worked fine, ie Weekend World, Walden and Dimbleby..
I noticed that Bill Neely was on the Lunchtime news on Monday... was that his first Lunchtime News?
Here's done them quite a lot, as well as the evening news. I think over Easter he did them both a few times IIRC. I quite like him as a presenter... probably my favourite after Mark and Steve Scott.
