Andrew Marr is leaving the BBC

[jmn]

Moving to LBC early in the New Year.

That’s a shame I quite like his tv show. Will he be on some kind of LBC tv instead?

[jmn]

Apparently he'll be doing a weekly podcast, and also some work for Classic FM. Also some newspaper articles.

Past his sell by date a while ago.

LBC is amusing.

Man with tv show named after himself, quits to find own voice...and a more heightened sense of privilege.

The Andrew Marr show won't be the same without him......

Who's replacing him?

[bitchstewie]

It'll be interesting to see where he fits in.

I listen to LBC a lot and I still struggle that they moved Iain Dale to a later time to give Eddie Mair the drive-time show.

Unless he's doing a Sunday show but on LBC.

Anyone named Andrew Marr is invited to apply.

If only there was some well regarded political journalist freshly out of contract from a failing news channel available...

Andrew Neil..?!

He's been completely gagged at the BBC, so will be nice to hear his opinions.

Must be fed up getting up early on a sunday to interview nobodies from the government while Boris is having another long sleep till midday.

"Well regarded"?

Not any more.

His opinions will be no less important or worthless than anyone else's, he's just a bloke off the telly, he's not the messiah.

[jmn]

With Adam Boulton leaving Sky as well it's certainly all change.

[over_the_hill]

I have always thought John Pienaar is pretty good but he left last year.

[Fundoreen]

Why replace him? it is a pretty pointless tv show in 2021. Soft news show that wont put you off your cornflakes and spoil your sunday.
If it goes on it will obviously be fronted by a woman. Maybe then doctor who can go back to being a man.
Actually Andrew Marr could do that job. A serious time lord that asks the daleks to apologise repeatedly lol.

[johnboy1975]

Will they be keen to push a "non white male" for his replacement? Is Fiona Bruce in the mix? Bloody awful on QT, so I hope not. Laura Kuenssberg and Naga Munchetty are both trending according to google.....


Always assuming the show continues that is. Which is pretty much a given I'd have thought.

[bitchstewie]

Naga would be an excellent choice just to see a Scanners style explosion of heads on here.
