Sky's political reporting has been fantastic of late. I am loving Joey Jones reports on get to the knitty gritty of the story without over complicating it (cough, cough Landale, Smith etc.) Adam Boulton's 1pm show continues to go from strength to strength aswell as his contributions at 5 and 6pm. Meanwhile Sophy Ridge has done some excellent work particularly on phone hacking and add's some much needed galmour to the political reporters!


I agree, although the name "Boulton and Co" wouldn't really point that out - I think that hour should be slightly re-branded or just call it Sky News.


I actually like the Boulton & Co name. It is very apt as during that hour Sky usually take a tour of their Westminster newsroom talking to their various correspondents and editors about the stories of the day.


Boulton and co is the only hour which survived sky's drastic cut of walking-around-studios news programmes. So it is a very important news programme which is still a little part of skynews' great past.

I'm sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick, but can you just clarify that you think it's a very important programme because it's the only programme where they walk around?

Yes , it's a fresh and diversified appearance, which makes the news even more interesting.I prefer it to sitting the whole time at the desk, which is rather boring.

Don't even bother trying to reason with him. Phil94 has his own unique priorities when it comes to news channels...

They are not unique, I am sure of that!

Hmm, basing the importance of a news programme on whether or not it features a jolly lark around the set puts you in the lonesome company of... erm, Worzel?

I do hope you like discussing Barcos.

I thought it was 'BARCO's' and not 'Barcos'. Wink

EDIT: House beat me to it! Laughing

I don't think even Worzel would go as far as saying "the 10 o'clock news is obviously the most important BBC News programme, because they're normally stood up for the intro".

Sorry Phil, you're on your own.

I just mentioned that walking through the newsroom puts more variety into the programme than sitting at the desk at any time . That's a fact , no matter what I prefer.

No, what you said was that it was the most important programme on the channel, because they walked through the newsroom. Nobody disagrees that it adds variety, but to say it "makes the news even more interesting" is complete twaddle.

Indeed, I expressed myself wrongly.
