Rob has produced the biggest political shows on TV, Question Time, The Daily Politics, PoliticsLive, The Andrew Marr Show and many more. He is obsessed with long form political interviews and is deeply annoyed by a lack of them on television. This is a great account from someone on the inside about how political interviews are planned for television, how they play out and how and when a producer should intervene. It's also a defence of high-quality political broadcasting and features a superb in-depth account of Andrew Neil v Boris Johnson in 2019.
