Does anyone know the last time there was a specific summer filler programme like this?"News 24 Sunday" was the last proper summer filler program for the Sunday 9 - 10am slot. It was initially brought in to fill the gap between "Breakfast with Frost" finishing in May 2005 and Andrew Marr starting his new show in September 2005, but it returned again in summer 2006 and 2007.
In summers after this when the Andrew Marr show took a break, we then got an hour of the BBC News Channel, albeit of course before this year, it could be an hour of UK focussed news and there was a UK paper review at 9:30am.
