The last Andrew Marr show of the season was aired this morning - and it was the last outing for his current set of opening titles. You know, where our Andrew leaves a house that isn't his, in a Nissan Figaro he doesn't own, picks up newspapers in Amwell Street, Islington, takes a bewildering route past Westminster, to the Television Centre Multi-story Car Park, then inexplicably emerges in offices he's never worked in, in the Media Centre, picking up post from a desk he's never worked at, to take a lift in no way connected with the studio back at Television Centre.
So clearly they have to be changed to give authenticity when the show returns, from studios in new Broadcasting House.
Two videos below. First, Andrew Marr's titles re-edited for Armando Ianucci's Time Trumpet. And below, the man Andy models himself on - Simon Dee.
