Date off

It looks like curtains for Dateline London, an original part of the News 24 schedule from 1997. It's hard to think of a cheaper way of filling airtime - it requires four UK-based foreign journalists discussing the week's news, broadcast live and repeated several times over the weekend schedule. The first host was Charles Wheeler. 

News of its impending demise has been tweeted by contributors including Steve Richards, Polly Toynbee, Stefanie Bolzen and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, and former host Gavin Esler.
