The One Show with Adrian Chiles and Nadia Sawalha

Well I think it s a good choice too in picking Adrian Chiles , he's done a variety of different shows well and is a far more competent and amiable presenter than their original chioce who hopefully they wont consider in future for these type of shows.

I'm glad that they backed down from the original concept as it had in my opinion Big Turkey written all over it . There's been enough rubbish on One at 7 pm recently , we didnt need any more .

Presumably he'll be leaving Working Lunch if these four weeks are a success. He'll be a busy man with MOTD2 on Sundays - i cant imagine he'll give that up.

Wow I was only the other day thinking how good Adrian is, and how something a bit bigger would be good for him. Excellent choice.

Programme still sounds like it will suck though.

Great choice.

Chiles is a real rising star in the BBC. A very natural presenter with an easy connection to the viewer. He did a great (but largely unrecognised series) for BBC Two a couple of years ago called "So what do you do all day?" where he followed a big business leader around for one day. Pretty self explanatory title really! But his style really shone through- not afraid to self-deprecate, to look a bit silly, but equally able to ask the odd tricky question.

The only person I've seen able to get on so well with people whilst following them around (and therefore get the most out of interivews) is the great Louis Theroux. Long live his series on BBC Two, but I think Chiles is an excellent broadcaster and the perfect choice for covering old style "Nationwide" stories.

From my point of view, the content of the show sounds absolutely pants, but then given millions of people watch local TV news (really poor content and invariable awful presenters), I suspect this might do rather well (poor content but excellent presenter).

Supposed to be coming from the Mailbox too, according to today's 'Birmingham Mail'.

I guess they'll be using the 2nd studio(Politics Show one!).

Still no name for the porgramme though.

According to Adrian Chiles this morning on Radio 1 there are a lot of discussion about the naming, but the thinking is currently on "The One Show", which Moyles duly ridiculed. Chiles said he said they should just be honest and call it Nationwide!

Have they used ONE Life before or was that Radio 1? If they're going to do a pun that could be the one they use.

Listen again online from around 2 hours 20 mins

Comedy Dave said it was an awful name because it sounds like there should just be one show, and that it will be axed after the first night!

Both used it. Radio 1 use One Life as the health, sex etc advice. The BBC One show "ONE Life" works with that title because its about one persons life etc, not just cos its on BBC One - I would have thought anyway.

The One Show does sound a bit odd IMHO, Nationwide would be a better name.

hardly an unambiguous name, what with the news bulletin at 13:00 being known as "the one"

Not to viewers, just to saddos on here who like to think they work for the BBC and so use the terms used by people who actually do.
