Why on earth have they set it up like a US late-night talk show???
Do we need the logo on-screen permanently? And on the mugs?

It is bad so far. He just had to talk about the Labour results in terms of Corbyn. rolleyes
It is never the fault of ITV Executives or schedulers that their expensive new shows get poor ratings
Just caught some of this on +1, Allegra in front of a large screen TV with tweets that you can't read ..... very low-rent, very rushed too.
And the set seems like it's a Daybreak/GMTV reject.
He was interviewed on the radio about a week ago and said the chat show was the clincher which made him move (not the money?), he was also saying how he is missing appearing on Radio 4 regularly.
It is good to have another political show on TV, but as you say this brings nothing new. Yet again things relating to Labour have to be framed in terms of Corbyn's leadership rather than just about the party as a whole.
As someone else said he doesn't allow people time to answer a question before asking another one.
We really need a political show that is going to hold politicians to account and not just try to get controversial answers for the same of it.
Is she still appearing in her granny's clothes, like she used to do on Newsnight?
But Peston hs said in interviews he believes in the polite school of interviewing where you do not confront the person or get aggressive with them:D
Not impressed by the show, Peston clearly nervous and jumpy thoughout....almost the opposite persona to his BBC one.
That is uncalled for, learn some manners.
It's TV Jim!- but not as we knoooooow it, Makes Andrrrrrrreeeeeewwwww Marrrrrrr, look brilliant. How about annnnnnoooooottttthhhhhheerr , Financial crrrrrrrrrrrrrisis, to mmmmmaaaaakkkkkkkeeeeee this more...............interesting.
Given how often you are wrong I will go to the bookies to bet on the opposite.
The usual posters would criticise if it was a clone of an other show, so now they critice because it dares to be a bit different. Spin masters lol
That's a matter of personal preference and there were some elements I liked, including Robert Peston's overall demeanour, so I will definitely keep watching. For my money, I would replace the non-political guest with a second politics interview done by Allegra Stratton (whose role was minimal) and lessen the emphasis on social media's real-time reaction to the programme's content - just go on social media if you want that. The main interview could also do with being in one block rather than straddling a break.
One other observation - I was surprised ITV Studios had produced this in-house rather than giving it to ITN.
I heard that too. I did enjoyed his interaction with Eddie Mair on PM
Just what I came on this thread to say. Just like Laura Kuenssberg before him, I'm sure he'll discover ITV is not for him and return.
The show is like a poor man's version of Andrew Marr with the added bonus of Richard and Judy's Book Club.
