The One Show is a topical magazine-style television programme, broadcast on weekdays at 6:58pm on BBC One. It is hosted by Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley. It runs every week of the year, excluding a two week break for Christmas. The One Show is broadcast from BBC Media Village in White City, London. It is the biggest single commission outside returning drama the BBC has ever handed out.[2]
History
The One Show was initially commissioned for a four week trial run. It broadcast on weeknights at 6:55pm between 14 August and 8 September 2006. The programme was billed as a topical magazine show. The trial was hosted by Chiles and Nadia Sawalha, featuring reports from a variety of people across the UK. The show was intended as an updated version of the 1960-1980s BBC news magazine show Nationwide[3]; its production at the BBC Birmingham facilities at The Mailbox may have been a reminder of the popular daytime show Pebble Mill at One, broadcast from the former BBC Birmingham studios at Pebble Mill.
The show returned, having been revamped as it needed to be, on 9 July 2007.[4] A number of changes were made to the format. The show was moved from Birmingham to London. Sawalha was replaced by Myleene Klass. Klass left in August to give birth to her first child, and was replaced by Christine Bleakley, and there was also a new team of reporters. It replaced Real Story, [5] and Holiday, which was axed after 37 years.[6]
On Wednesday 18th March 2009, the show aired for the 400th episode, which was an hour long instead of the usual 30 minutes.

Transmission
The original show was transmitted from a temporary studio built at The Mailbox complex in Birmingham. Technical facilities were provided by NEP Visions, with an Outside Broadcast truck parked-up in the loading bay. The show was produced by BBC Birmingham, with production input from various BBC regions. The initial four week run was for test purposes, to see whether the show was successful in attracting audiences, and has been recommissioned on that basis.
Featured stories
During the programme's original run, several experts, as well as presenters from other BBC programmes presented certain reports and ran experiments. Among these included Kate Humble travelling around the United Kingdom in search of specific wildlife each day; Martin Lewis providing tips for saving money, as well as Carol Thatcher attempting to survive for a week on £8.45 a day - the amount Prudential plc estimated many state pensioners were living on after tax deductions. John Lyndon from the Sex Pistols was also a famed guest,and received tremendous support over the alleged racism incident.
Photo competition
Throughout the initial four week run, a wildlife photo competition was held, designed to find the best photograph captured by a viewer. The winner, Annie Kerridge, was announced on 7 September 2006 and interviewed live on the programme. Entries are available to view on the BBC's interactive services.
To aid with sending entries, a special BBC group was set up on photographic sharing website Flickr, where viewers with accounts could upload them
Controversy
In February 2009, Carol Thatcher caused outrage with her reference to a tennis player as a golliwog backstage and has since been dropped from presenting any articles on the show.[8]
Christmas Single
In December 2008 The One Show teamed up with singer and songwriter, Chris Difford, and produced a Christmas single entitled 'Let's Not Fight this Christmas'. The song was performed by the whole One Show team and Difford himself, with the music video recorded in the studios of The One Show. The single did not enter the UK top 100.
