hd peston on sunday first programme
Peston on Sunday is the flagship political discussion programme on British television network ITV, broadcast live on Sunday mornings from 10am and repeated again after the News at Ten on Sunday evening. The programme is presented by Robert Peston, the Political Editor of ITV News, and features discussion with politicians and public figures on the major news events of the week.
Contents
The programme shares a studio with Lorraine and Loose Women.
The third series began on 15 January 2017.
Format
In contrast to the style of questioning employed by rival programmes like The Andrew Marr Show and Murnaghan, Peston on Sunday features a more relaxed, conversational approach in order to engage and explore opinions of the political guests.
Presenter Allegra Stratton, the National Editor of ITV News, provides the show with social media updates and viewers' comments from a touch screen (named by popular vote 'Screeny McScreenface' in the first episode).
The programme usually airs live from Studio 3 of The London Studios. Episodes were broadcast from Liverpool and Birmingham during the party conference season of 2016, to coincide with the Labour Party and Conservative Party conferences respectively.
