The One Show

[soliloquy]

Does THE ONE SHOW really need two presenters?

[gingejbee]

It needs two presenters as much as sports programmes need several pundits ie not at all. (I don't watch either, so it doesn't really bother me how many they have).

Unless the BEEB can come up with a hermaphrodite, yes.

Balance is king/queen.

[davebro]

never watched it - is it just venting hot air?

[Hazlinny]

Do we really need The One Show?

[andy-hughes]

The dynamics of presentation have been tinkered with over the years, and the defaults that companies seem to have settled for is - one for news, two for lightweight magazine programmes, multiple for sports.

It's not about 'need' rather than what fits the format, and that the viewers are comfortable with.

[Hopkirk]

It makes ticking the diversity boxes so much easier.

[Old_Geezer]

Does THE ONE SHOW really need to exist ?

Surely that's, "change the channel", time.

Alex Jones managed on her own all through the covid period.

They not only have two presenters in the studio but several out and about doing reports. I only watch it when there's someone I'm interested in on.
