Some others I remember from around the year 2000:

Europe Direct
7 Days
Agenda
Gate 24 (News 24's version of BBC World's "Fast Track")
Euro Brief (ISTR it was one of those weekend afternoon fillers presented by David Jessel. Had titles that included ribbons and acrobats as I recall)
Straight Talk (presented by Nick Robinson)
Head to Head (seem to recall it was an interview programme, maybe presented by Andrew Neil? Remember it was in a very, very dark studio)

Europe Direct was, of course, two different programmes - the first was a daily evening news programme that was shown on News 24 and World from 1997 to April 2000; the second was a weekend pre-record that aired on rotation with other ... Direct programmes - by mid-2003, the rotation included Africa Direct, Arab World Direct, Australia Direct, Europe Direct and Simpson's World (which appeared twice in the rotation). Oddly, the second version did reuse the earlier programme's branding, but the Direct programmes were all phased out in 2004 (though the ...Direct brand was later recycled by BBC World News for seasons of weekend programming).

There have been several politics programmes with similar names - one version of Straight Talk was an 'informal' look back at the week in Westminster with guests, presented by News 24's Chief Political Correspondent (Edwards -> Robinson -> Harri); a later programme also called Straight Talk was a one-on-one interview programme hosted by Andrew Neil in a dark studio; One to One was a similar earlier programme hosted by Robinson and then Harri; Head 2 Head was a topical debate show with two guests from opposite sides that was hosted at one point by Polly Toynbee.

Weekend filler shows were at their most peculiar during the early-flags era, when they included Food Watch (food and consumer affairs), Newsround 24 (a compilation of the week's Newsround) and Chronicles (based on the BBC News archive). Weekend afternoons/evenings in the early years also had Scoreline and extra Sportsdays rather than back-half fillers - perhaps might be worth bringing back.
