Programme news

It looks very much like Kevin Lygo's biggest gamble so far as ITV Controller - The Nightly Show - will launch on February 6th. Tickets are on offer for as-live recordings at 5.35pm, at The Cochrane Theatre on February 6th through to 24th. Tom Bradby and the ITN News at Ten team will be on later tubes. Will Walliams get more than 2m in the overnights ?

Meanwhile, viewers in Scotland get a first look at "Timeline" tonight on BBC2. Glenn Campbell and Shereen Nanjiani present "thought-provoking stories and analysis from across Scotland, told through some of the country's most passionate and informed guests." Will it compensate for a Scottish Six ? Will it break the 40k viewer threshold ?
