The Andrew Neil Show launched as a live 10-part series in May 2022 and saw the journalist interview “decision-takers and news-makers from across the political spectrum” and examine the “biggest events of the moment”. Sharing a Guardian article reporting the “axing”, 74-year-old Neil tweeted: “Fair, accurate and authoritative report in the Guardian: Andrew Neil show is latest victim of Channel 4 cuts.” A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: “The Andrew Neil Show delivered matchless insight and analysis during a period of intense political turmoil. When The Andrew Neil Show was commissioned last year, the veteran broadcaster described himself as “honoured and delighted”.
