It was indeed Schofield interview in full (43 minutes) plus some comments about it collected throughout the day to fill the rest of the hour. (They could've done a brief UK news summary in the last 10-12 minutes but alas, comments took priority.)

The UK government is literally taking the chair (whom it appointed) of the public inquiry (that it set up) to court to block said inquiry obtaining vital evidence of government communications during the height of the most devastating pandemic in 100 years. We have the PM at the time saying he'll circumvent said inquiry and hand over relevant communications directly, which the government is still trying to block.

Yet no in-depth coverage is given to this, with context as to why our current PM might want block details of his communications during the height of the pandemic being scrutinised, but BBC News UK can devote an entire hour to coverage of a daytime TV presenter that had a brief, consensual relationship with a younger man.

Words utterly fail me.
