What The Papers Say
''What The Papers Say'' is a British radio and television series. It consists of quotations from headlines and comment pages in the previous week's newspapers, read in a variety of voices and accents by actors. The quotes are linked by a script read by a studio presenter, usually a prominent journalist. The show did not have a regular host, and was intended as a wry look at how British broadsheets and tabloids covered the week's news stories. The programme was most recently broadcast on BBC Radio 4. ''What The Papers Say'' originally ran for many years on television – its first incarnation (1956–2008) was the second longest-running programme on British television after ''Panorama''. Having begun in 1956 on Granada Television and ITV, the television series moved to Channel 4 and then to BBC2 before being discontinued in 2008. The programme was revived on Radio 4 in the run-up to the 2010 general election, and continued until 27 March 2016, when it was announced that that w ...

Guest Presenter
{{Unreferenced, date=January 2009 A guest host (or guest presenter in the United Kingdom) is a host, usually of a talk show, that hosts the program in lieu of the regular host if they fall ill, have another project or commitment, or are unable to host for some other reason. Guest hosts may be seen as undesirable for a show's producer if they have to be used for an extended period of time, but if they do a well enough job, the guest host may often be able to parlay their run into their own talk show or other project. History ''The Tonight Show'' This phrase was popularized on ''The Tonight Show'' during Johnny Carson's 30-year reign as host from 1962 to 1992. Toward the end of his tenure, Carson was granted more personal time off, and substitute hosts would be seen on the air more often. Some guest hosts of ''The Tonight Show'' have gone on to host talk shows of their own. Jay Leno would eventually succeed Johnny Carson as ''Tonight Show'' host; David Letterman went on to host ''L ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
