Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg is a BBC Sunday morning talk show presented by Laura Kuenssberg, broadcast on BBC One. It is also simulcast by the UK feed and occasionally by the International feed of BBC News channel, depending on content and interviews.
The programme replaced The Andrew Marr Show as the network's flagship Sunday talk show, after Andrew Marr resigned from the BBC to front a talk show on LBC in 2021. Similar to the previous Sunday morning programmes that came before, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg contains interviews with political figures and others involved in the current events of the week in every episode. Since September 2023, Victoria Derbyshire has also been the relief presenter of the programme. She notably presented for three weeks in a row in October 2023 when Kuenssberg's father died.[1]
The programme is broadcast from Studio B of Broadcasting House in London: the same studio from which BBC News at Six and Ten are broadcast.
Background
In March 2022, it was announced that Kuenssberg, who had left her role as BBC News' political editor, would be replacing Andrew Marr in a full-time role as the host of BBC One's flagship Sunday morning talk show, which was announced to be starting in September 2022.[2]
In an interview Kuenssberg gave to British Vogue on 23 August 2022, it was announced that the show would be released on 4 September 2022.[3]
More details about the programme were released on 28 August 2022, which included a short trailer of Kuenssberg talking to a politician from his or her point of view.[4] The show does not have the traditional Sunday paper review section; instead it highlights the front pages of the day's newspapers, or a BBC News Summary.[5]
Reception
Since Laura Kuenssberg took over the show from Andrew Marr, the show has seen a rapid decline in viewers, thought to be more a reflection on Laura Kuenssberg's general unpopularity rather than the format of the show itself.[6]
Jim Waterson of The Guardian said "...in a sign of the declining importance of the print press, Kuenssberg's new show has broken with the Sunday political show tradition of having a formal in-depth newspaper review. Instead, the front pages were flashed on screen for a few seconds – meaning the Mail on Sunday headline "BBC Comic's C-word jibe against PM" was barely visible."[5] The first episode had 1.5 million viewers.[5]
The debut episode also gathered attention due to the comments from comedian Joe Lycett who was a panellist,[7][8] including questions from a Conservative MP in a select committee of the House of Commons.[9][10]
