    BBC to axe This Week as Andrew Neil steps down Archived Message

    "informal and gently satirical....light hearted but rigorous"? Fecking Bollox.
    Yeah, just a long running, nasty series that attacked Corbyn and anyone who supported him.
    Neil is and always was an enemy of "the people".

    The Times:
    This Week, the BBC’s long-running politics programme, is being axed by the corporation after Andrew Neil, its host, decided to step down.

    The BBC One show will disappear from schedules this summer after the corporation decided it would not be recommissioned, The Times understands. It has run for 16 years.

    The cancellation will disappoint fans of This Week’s informal and gently satirical take on Westminster affairs.

    Despite its late slot, airing at 11.45pm after Question Time on Thursdays, the programme’s lighthearted but rigorous tone attracted a loyal audience.
