There are also a few 'editions' of programmes that didn't last long - the multiple editions of Newsdesk that existed between March and October 1997, the first European Breakfast version of The World Today that only lasted five months, the first Nik Gowing edition of World News Today that only lasted eight months and, more recently, the evening edition of Business Live which managed just over a year. Frontline with Lyse Doucet didn't even make it to air, ultimately replaced by a new edition of World News Today that was itself replaced by a Friday edition of Impact after only eight months.
