One of the BBC’s longest-running and most internationally respected news programmes, Dateline London, is to be ditched at the end of the summer. The move, confirmed to the show’s producer this weekend, is the first in a series of billed “radical changes” planned by the broadcaster.
To the surprise of the programme’s production team and panel of high-profile contributors, the show will end in September, just as it marks its 25th continuous year on air on the BBC’s News and World channels.
