now, it s hard to remember a time when sunday morning television didn t feature a live political interview programme. come the new year, there ll have been one on bbc one for 30 years. the late sir david frost was host for 12 years, andrew marr for 16. and at the start of september, laura kuenssberg inherited the mantle. it s one of the most high profilejobs in television news. and like her predecessors, she s hooked some important guests. hello, and a very warm welcome to a new show and a new political era. tomorrow, one of these two will be chosen as our new prime minister. thank you so much for coming in. and whatever happens, do come back. applause well, i was going to say going for some reaction from our panel, because listening to that interview at the desk and seeming to applaud joe lycett, the comedian. i love it! this morning, we ll bejoined by two prime ministers new zealand s jacinda ardern and by the prime minister of bangladesh, sheikh hasina. the key issue at

in previous incarnations, the sunday morning show started with a couple of guests reviewing the newspapers who then disappeared. but on sunday with laura kuenssberg, a panel of three pop up at a number of points during the programme, commenting on the interviews that laura sjust done, as well as on other stories of the week hence the appearance on the first programme of comedianjoe lycett, with that presumably sarcastic response to liz truss, not appreciated by tony webb, who wrote: liz o donnell had a wider objection: but there have been fans too, including kenneth ferguson:
