They invite 2 stars from eastenders on then ignore them to run a piece about immigration then interview someone about it. They looked embarrassed . They they run a piece about a man and a dog. Why not leave them in the green room til they want them

That's what always happens on The One Show though....its a running joke with some guests taking the mick at its scattergun approach.
Both the guests tonight probably have opinions on immigation from personal / family experience.
They may also be into art so could comment on the artist's story.
But maybe some just want to get their faces on TV.
Given the viewing figures, I guess it's a very good vehicle for getting themselves noticed.
Our regional news, is pitched at a much more "adult" level and when I've bothered to watch it, is quite interesting.
Maybe the BBC doesn't like ITV clips. Can't think of another reason.:)
Always thought it an odd format, not wheeling the guests on to do their bit. Rather than leaving them there looking like a fish out of water.
Its a chat show that wants to be Nationwide, presented by a bloke who loves himself too much and a gormless bint.
Yet I still watch it most of the time.
Totally disagree Rudolf had a conversation after the film and was fully involved, guest go one the show they have seen it before they know what it does! There was never ever any embarrassment at all! Thoughtful concentration on a difficult subject well tackled.
That's just not constructive to the discussion in any way whatsoever, rather " random"
Oh dear there's always one without a sense of humour.
Bless.
"Constructive?"
What's constructive about comments on message board?
Do you think they'll alter the content of the programme or change posters views in any way?
Lighten up. It's just telly. It's a popular and sometimes informative programme in an often patronising way, despite the frequency of the nonsense it , or maybe it's because of the latter?
If it's a "must watch" programme for you, that's fine by me.
That was what I thought, he wanted to talk about strokes and both of them had an interest in immigration.
Errr no. For the part 10 years I've worked in the evenings
You made the wrong decision by switching shifts!
Watching repeats of Nationwide would be much more entertaining I'd say.
Guests only go on because it means their face is on prime time BBC1 plugging their latest project, even if it is very brief.

people agree it is embarassing
You presumably don't remember the light items that Nationwide did. If anything I would say that Nationwide did far more novelty film reports.
There are regularly film reports on items that have not been covered elsewhere.
Don't watch it then, plenty of people will watch in your stead
It is not an insult to be compared with one of the greatest and longest running British TV series.
The One Show will never be great, or highbrow television but it is light, frothy, and draws in the viewers for early evening primetime. I do have to say I find it a bit cringey when they start asking the guests (who are usually on to promote a book/tour/new show/film etc) what their opinion is on the early ontset of Alzeimers but they must be briefed beforehand on the type of show they're going on to - a 'magazine' show in nature it will always jump from one article to another and involve the guests in those articles.
Its been on for years now, probably doesn't cost a huge amount to produce, and pulls in the viewers.
At least they had "witty" songs by Richard Stilgoe! *cough*
