Journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil will host a new live 10-part series on Channel 4 starting in May.

The show, Sunday Politics with Andrew Neil, will examine the biggest events of the moment and feature set-piece interviews with the highest profile politicians and newsmakers. This will also be accompanied by a weekly podcast.

The half-hour programme will be broadcast every Sunday evening and will be produced by ITN Productions and Channel 4 News.

Andrew Neil has been in the business for 50 years and as a political presenter and interviewer for 30 years. He is a publisher, broadcaster, speaker and company chairman. He is Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Press Holdings Media Group, publishers of The Spectator, Spectator Australia, Spectator USA and Apollo, the world-renowned art magazine. He launched Spectator Australia in 2009 and Spectator USA in 2018. He is much in demand on the UK/European/global speaker circuit and for chairing major conferences, at which he excels. He speaks on geopolitics and specializes on the politics/economics of the UK, EU, US and Middle East; and how to do business in the digital age.

In the course of his career, he has interviewed seminal world leaders such Kofi Anan, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan; Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and Boris Johnson; Boris Yeltsin; Nicholas Sarkozy and Valery Giscard D’Estaing; PW Botha.

He said: "I'm honoured and delighted to be presenting a new Sunday night political show for Channel 4. Sunday night is a pivotal point in the political week — we can sweep up what’s happened in the previous week, mop up what’s been in the Sunday papers and talk shows and throw forward to the upcoming week. We’ll aim to do all of that and more."
