It suggests someone wasn’t happy and it got pulled for a rethink. When you consider what happened with Andrew Neil, a new show vanishing after a few editions is going to prompt such questions.(20-11-2022, 06:24 PM)Scrotnig Wrote: Odd though. The show is now called “Sunday with Michael Portillo”, though only the top of the hour titles have been changed to show this….the same titles are run into and out of breaks but they still say just “Portillo”.
Also he now presents from the breakfast bar for most of the show, but with some segments still from the sofa.
It’s all a bit odd. Was it pulled two weeks ago for a rethink? Yet it’s barely changed.
I think you might be overanalysing to be honest. Lots of decisions may well be made week to week and there’s not much more to it than the whim of whoever’s in charge that week or month. Just a hunch.
