Now available on catch up on YouTube. A very good watch. Just needs a studio set up rather than Zoom. Can imagine this being bought by one of the new channels, if they ever launch.
Technically it was clunky but that was to be expected. I've often thought Andrew Neil is a very underrated journalist and he's certainly capable of keeping any show going. I agree with @derek500 that if GB News or the other station (Don't know the name) start up then they'll buy it.
Saying Andrew Neil is an underrated journalist is a bit like saying Sir Alex Ferguson was an underrated football manager. Very few don’t think he’s brilliant at what he does.

I’d say more undervalued than underrated, particularly by the BBC. His presence has slowly dwindled, seemingly not as his request.
He's a highly capable broadcaster and if he were to move to one of the new stations then the BBC would be kicking themselves.
I am surprised Talk Radio or Times Radio have not approached him to host a show. Both stations are owned by Rupert Murdoch, who of course has had a working relationship and friendship with Andrew going back many years.
I would like to see Andrew on Talk Radio, whose hosts at the moment are very unbalanced. Andrew could easily take over from Mike Graham at the 10.00am weekday show.
If you follow Andrew Neil on Twitter you’ll see that he has, in my view, completely given up on any veneer of impartiality recently. I can’t see how the BBC could have him back now that he has blatantly become a mouthpiece of The Spectator (who he’s Chairman of). When he was on the BBC regularly he seemed to downplay his role at The Spectator. The magazine, one of the oldest in the world, has increased its subscribers recently by going down quite a hard Brexit angle and is fro t and centre in trying to bring the culture wars to the U.K.
