Daily Politics
Daily Politics is a BBC Television programme which aired between 6 January 2003 and 24 July 2018, presented by Andrew Neil and Jo Coburn. Daily Politics took an in-depth review of the daily events in both Westminster and other areas across Britain and abroad, and included interviews with leading politicians and political commentators.
The final episode of Daily Politics broadcast was on 24 July 2018. On 2 September 2018 it was replaced by BBC Politics Live. However, the regional opt-out edition, Sunday Politics, continued as a Sunday morning talk show until 27 December 2020. The Sunday Politics brand continues to be used in Northern Ireland.
On 1 September 2000, Greg Dyke, then Director-General of the BBC, ordered a review of political output from the BBC, which was carried out by Fran Unsworth. This led to a major overhaul of political programming in 2003. Several flagship programmes were cancelled, including On the Record, Despatch Box and Westminster Live, and new programmes were launched, including Daily Politics and the Politics Show.
Daily Politics first aired on Wednesday 8 January 2003, presented by Andrew Neil and Daisy Sampson. The first show included coverage of the first 12:00 noon session of Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons which later became standard in future.
In May 2008, the opening titles were revamped by Jonathan Spencer, the show's designer, using Adobe Illustrator and Cinema 4D.
On 3 October 2011, it was announced that from 9 January 2012 Daily Politics would be relaunched, broadcasting six days a week (Daily Politics – Monday to Friday and Sunday Politics on Sundays). The duration of Daily Politics was extended from 30 to 60 minutes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, remaining at 90 minutes on Wednesdays. Sunday Politics would become a weekend edition of Daily Politics presented by Andrew Neil and replacing The Politics Show, which ended in December 2011.
On 9 January 2013, the show celebrated its tenth anniversary showing archive clips from the Blair, Brown and Cameron years. It celebrated its 15th anniversary in January 2018.
Daily Politics was broadcast live at noon on weekdays on BBC Two when the House of Commons is sitting, lasting 60 minutes on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Wednesdays the programme was extended to 90 minutes from 11.30 am and included live coverage and analysis of Prime Minister's Questions. Each show was repeated on BBC Parliament at midnight on the same day, and was available on BBC iPlayer for seven days. During party conference season, an additional programme covering the Party Leaders' speeches aired in the afternoons, and a highlights programme titled Today at Conference aired after Newsnight on BBC Two. During the 2010 general election, BBC Two ran nine, 45-minute Daily Politics election debates. These programmes were presented by Andrew Neil and a specialist BBC correspondent.
