![]() Relatively new to live presenting, Peston needs to learn to trust pauses. While the preceding Marr show had less arts content than usual, Peston introduced a regular “book club” and, breaking the usual broadcasting rule about not promoting rivals, interviewed Louis Theroux about his new BBC2 documentaries. Even the chancellor was freelancing as a reviewer: “It’s early minutes but the show’s looking good.” After talking to Osborne for a while, Peston handed over to Stratton, who provided immediate personal feedback (“House prices will fall if we leave the EU – that’s the main line out of your interview”) before revealing what viewers had tweeted to Screeny. In a development likely to induce terror among the union of TV critics, it soon became clear that Peston on Sunday is constructed as a self-reviewing show. ![]() Attuning to the show’s aim to loosen the mood of sabbath television, the chancellor had turned up tieless, although had stopped short of changing his name to Votey McVoteface. “Yes, do, Ruth, I’m feeling a bit lonely here!,” added Peston, again seeming winningly jittery as he introduced “my very first big Sunday interview, George Osborne”. “I know you’re watching,” Stratton directly addressed the Scottish Tory leader, Ruth Davidson, “so send us a tweet!” Screeny is intended to display tweets, some of which were actively solicited. Whereas Marr had expressed fogeyish surprise at a guest’s use of an iPad during the prolonged newspaper review that starts his show, Peston threw straight to Stratton – a colleague from ITV’s News At Ten, where she is national editor and he political editor - at an interactive widescreen.Įxtending the meme that led the public to attempt to name a polar vessel Boaty McBoatface, viewers had voted pre-transmission for the show’s window on the digital world to be baptised Screeny McScreenface. I''m going to compose an event management plan and work out some of the logistics involved.In the hour before the debut of Peston on Sunday, Andrew Marr, in a tie, had talked to an equally buttoned-up Michael Gove and a polo-shirted Prince Harry in the latest edition of the 11-year-old BBC1 series which ITV has decided to follow, at 10am, rather than challenge directly.ĭifferences were immediately clear. Don''t get me wrong, I have my contacts within the game but he''s not some 2 bit mug. This could be the biggest event around these parts for a long time. Initially I was thinking of a quality, but less extravagant venue - such as Dersingham village social club. I''ve got plenty more ideas, so if the club want to go ahead with it then feel free to get in touch and I''ll share more of my genius. ![]() Myleene Klass could do a piano recital as a warm-up act for The Darkness.Comp ères for the event could be Dion Dublin and Helen McDermott. ![]() The hospitality boxes would go like hot cakes I''m sure, and you could issue those silver foil blankets like they give out at the end of marathons for those hardy souls in the outdoor seats. If the club will allow 60% of Take That to take the place over two nights running, I suggest they might be amenable to having a telethon on the pitch, simulcast live and uninterrupted on Mustard TV and BBC Radio Norfolk, and of course beamed live to people in the stands on Screeny McScreenface in the Holiday Inn Corner.
