BBC pulls The One Show from air in major change to TV schedule

The One Show is a staple of weeknight TV - but faces big changes this week after major changes to the TV schedule. The magazine-style programme usually airs each weeknight at 7pm on BBC One.

But viewers won't find the show, hosted by Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas, in its usual slot for two consecutive nights this week. The programme has been booted to BBC Two tonight (Wednesday, June 12).

That is because the BBC is airing a Panorama special interview with journalist and broadcaster Nick Robinson questioning Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth on his party's policies ahead of next month's General Election. It is not the only schedule change for The One Show this week as it has been completely dropped from the schedule tomorrow night (Thursday, June 13).

The show won't air at all on Thursday, when a special extended news show will air in its usual lot on BBC One. It will return to its usual slot on Friday (June 14) before returning to normal tonight.

The One Show launched with a pilot series in 2006, leading to a full series from 2007. It is currently co-hosted by Alex Jones, Jermaine Jenas, Roman Kemp and Lauren Laverne.

Various reporters also assist with subject-specific presenting, both in the studio and on location, or through filmed segments. Originally produced in Birmingham and then in the BBC Media Village in White City, London, since 2014 the studio has been based in Broadcasting House, the BBC's headquarters in London.
