I would assume Jon Sopel must be pretty hacked off about this - losing his big weekend gig.

Andrew Neill will probably do one day less during the week than he currently works and the programme on Sunday will be live.
It will be pretty limiting if the Sunday Politics can't react to the stories of the day. Surely it must be live?

According to the editor of the Daily Politics on Twitter, Andrew Neil will still present the Daily Politics on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

While the national bit of the Politics Show remained live, most English Regions recorded their opts last series. A great shame, particularly for those regions who always did an OB on the road around the patch. The original mantra for the programme was "From Downing Street to your street" so taking the show on the road made a great deal of sense (and kept up the OB directing/camerawork skills of the regional teams!).

Interesting as he doesn't currently present Friday. I assume they will keep their slightly more informal approach on Friday (e.g. no desk) as it works quite well for the end of the week
I wonder if they will bring in a co-host for Jo Coburn Mon/Tue?

Isn't that because he does This Week on a Thursday evening, which finishes quite late, and then off to Annabels for a bottle of Blue Nun.
I always thought the studio was just left with the re-positioned platform and small table from Thursday evening, rather than a deliberate attempt to make Friday's edition look less formal.

Going back a few years of course, the Friday show was a bit more relaxed, as there was a desk Mon-Thurs, but there hasn't been a desk on the main show for a good 5 years or so now!
I do wonder where this leaves This Week, as isn't it now an independent production (albeit only behind the scenes)....so presumably there is a contractual element to it??
I wonder if they will use this change to freshen up the graphics and what not?

Where can I found out, what going to happen to the Scottish version? I get the feeling it just going to get a rename....

I do wonder how two BBC programmes with a similar agenda will live alongside each other on a Sunday morning. Marr and the New Daily Politics programme are potentially too similar. Any thoughts? Which one might survive, or both?
OK, Marr does aim for an arts angle in its portfolio although fundementally is a political programme. Not a big enough difference from the revamped midday programme I suspect.
