Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode have announced that their weekly film review slot on Radio 5Live is coming to an end on April 1, after 21 years. (Technically, the pair were first on air together at the BBC from November 1994, when Mark came in to do movie news on Simon's Radio 1 show). One suspects intellectual property lawyers will be involved before the pair re-emerge with a similar offering on another platform.
Kermode will continue to present Screenshot alongside Ellen E Jones on BBC Radio 4 and his regular film review on the BBC News Channel.
The BBC said 5 Live Drive would move an hour earlier, to 4pm, following Kermode and Mayo's departure, with announcements on other schedule changes to follow in due course.
