Series Brief

Overview

A topical magazine-style daily television programme broadcast live on BBC One.

Why fans love it

The One Show occupies a strange corner of the daily schedule where the casual pace of afternoon television meets the heavy lifting of current affairs. Since its 2006 premiere, the format has leaned into a breezy, conversational style to bridge the gap between trivial human interest stories and broader societal debates. It remains a fixture for those who prefer their news segments tucked between kitchen demonstrations and guest interviews.

Roman Kemp is part of a rotating roster of presenters who steer these live, hour-long broadcasts. The appeal lies in the rapid gear shifts between segments, requiring hosts to maintain an upbeat rhythm while pivoting from serious reporting to lighter cultural beats. By stripping away investigative cynicism, the production keeps its focus on a consistent, predictable tone that anchors the early evening slot on BBC One.
