Better to hire Ortis Deely and then sack him after three days than just not commit to anyone.

except that sort of scenario wouldn't be better

I would love Charlie Brooker to host this.

It'd probably go more viral than anything The Nightly Show tried to pull off Wink

I would love Charlie Brooker to just come back and do a weekly whatever-Wipe again. He is sorely missed and I am greedy and want his sarky commentary on more than once a year. (I know he's busy doing other things).

I'm pretty sure ITV is beneath him, but even his guest stint presenting Film 20## was a joy to watch. I understand Black Mirror et al is probably giving him more creative joy, but like you, I'd love for the wipes to come back... Providing it was like the BBC Four days, and a third of the show isn't devoted to another comedian doing their thing.

If you liked him on Film, you may have missed this very brief clip that I stumbled across a couple of months ago. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04vp9cc
Newsroom24 and Larry the Loafer gave kudos

The show is set to launch with Nick Ferrari and Emma Barnet under the name of "After the News". Article below but if anyone knows what time it'll be on that'd be greatly appreciated Very Happy

Think it was a bit of a backwards step calling it that. I see the appeal of naming a show in relation to the schedule that surrounds it (Later with Jools Holland following The Late Show, Not the Nine O'Clock News etc.) but I'm not looking forward to hearing a CA say "After the news, After The News".

Looks like STV won't be airing this programme, as confirmed on DigiGuide. Not even showing it later during the night.
Also, UTV will broadcast the launch show at 12.45am on the Monday night/Tuesday morning...

They will be airing it, just after Scotland Tonight though.
