Sunday Politics with Andrew Neil

[Andrew]

Talking about “Sunday Politics”, why does it still exist on BBC One Northern Ireland?

Didn't it become "Politics (country/region name)" everywhere else? Perhaps they still struggle with what to call it to keep everyone happy in NI?

I think Politics Northern Ireland would have been fine but I imagine someone in Belfast thought the brand was good and that they would stick to it. Either that or they didn’t want to have to change the set.

Strange that they still use the wacky/in-joke filled titles though, that never fitted that well with the regional shows as it did with the main Daily Politics.

What’s the in jokes in the titles?

The newspaper headlines shown “BBC Show in trouble again” or whatever it says is presumably some reference to the criticism Andrew Neil and the national BBC gets/got, but was unlikely to have been relevant relating to Sunday Politics Midlands
