This show does seem obsessed with overloading the line up

Presumably they think people won’t tune it for one or two names, but if there are regularly at least six, people might have someone they are interested in and tune in

I think it's the downside of the loss of the national edition of Sunday Politics. With two big stories happening over the past couple days (Tory MP defection and Scottish vote of no confidence) I think two additional interviews were added last minute.

Arguably it would have made sense to extend today's programme by at least 15 minutes, or possibly half hour. Then hopefully a smooth opt back in on the News Channel would be possible.
