Victoria Derbyshire Show to come off air as part of BBC cuts

is committed to Victoria + the journalism of the show. Cost of doing it on linear channel when savings are needed deemed too high. BBC declined to comment ahead of an announcement next weekWhen Victoria Derbyshire proposed a TV version of her Radio 5 Live Show to former BBC News boss James Harding, he gave her the green light within days.

BBC News has a big problem in connecting with some licence fee payers away from big cities and from poorer backgrounds - or, in the jargon,"underserved audiences". For Harding and BBC News, Derbyshire - and the show's first editor, Louisa Compton - were the solution to a big problem.Derbyshire's programme was highly effective in reaching those people, through original journalism, investigations and scoops of a kind that the BBC generally struggles to do. But on linear TV channels it failed to garner a sufficiently big audience to justify its cost.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

Should axe that twat Marr’s show too!

Question time next, let's hope so.

Of course. Given the choice between scrapping the appalling bbcquestiontime and the frightful career-obsessed Bruce, or a programme that actually has some integrity and purpose, BBC will always make the wrong choice.

Not brexitty enough?

Take off eastenders as well the programme of doom

Nobody cares lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Pitch for replacement show. LaurenceFox hosting a show where privately educated white men from rich families talk about how success comes from hard work and personal sacrifice. Call it “Laurence Fox Right Up”

Why don’t the BBC cut the shocking amount of repeats on during daytime tv and leave the Victoria Derbyshire show alone as it is the only program worth watching during the day as I will NOT watch the second rate ITV dross!!! Cannot stand 99 percent of their shows presenters

Well it not that good we never watch her

Just close down your channel and give us all peace! PropagandaMedia BBCBias BiasBBC We see you! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Such a shame, the only decent daytime show. BBC dumbs in down again.

Thank god , Adam Boulton does a great show on Sky in the morning , but during the Ads I flick ..and the BBC had some dumbed down local coffee magazine rubbish ...there's So Much going on in the World ..tell us the bloody news !!!..put Victoria on BBC 3 ..

But she’s really good

Here’s a thought; are football presenters really, truly worth what some are getting paid? I reckon sensible salaries might free up plenty of funds for hitherto irrelevant things like programming.

Good News. Get rid of Lineker next please.

Good, self opinionated europhile, no place on TV now we're leaving

BBC are making a mistake. No doubt an opportunity to dumb down the schedule.

It's a start Many to go before you're off the naughty step

The BBC are f'ing useless. They can't get anything right. Of all the news/journalism programs to axe... this ain't it (chief).

Well the viewing figures had tanked apparently. She had a good run for our money, so she should just be thankful for the ride. It’s a not a life peerage or anything - you’re only as good as your viewing figures 🤢

I have never forgiven her for setting up some guy as a racist for trying to articulate how Barking had changed due to immigration and that his family and friends felt like strangers in their own town

Why not the propagandist bbcquestiontime ... it's no less verbal dysentery 🤷‍♂️

wible1 Just how much is this going to save? Assuming it won't be replaced with images of Johnson waving Union Jacks, what will be the cost of what it's replaced with?

And coming on air will enable funds? (After the watershed surely?)

BBC’s version of Loose Women!

Bring back T.OT.P s

Not be missed by me.

No doubt Sarah Montague will be writing her a letter of thanks for making the sacrifice and enabling her to get equal pay.

Shouldve saved money sacking Laura Keunsberg !

Why are bbc so good at making exactly the wrong decisions these days 🧐🙄 vicderbyshire is a huge asset and a brilliant journalist covering things that real people actually care about ludicrous

Good. There's something very depressing about day time tv & V D is right up there at the top of the list. Why do people sit around & watch this boring blah blah blah. Same goes for Loose Women & The One Show.

Cutting shows is not the answer. Cutting ridiculous salaries that do not match the real world & utiling young talent will save money and make you more efficient. It will also help pay for the pensioners you wish to charge who most cannot afford BBC reform notforthemoderneworld

Shameful indeed, there was nothing wrong with the programme

Surely, the unwatchable farce that is Question Time costs more?

Yes. About time.

just need jug lugs removed now 😂

Is this a direct order from Cummings and De Pfeffle

Disgraceful decision. Think of ALL THE GARBAGE you put on our screens......Baking , Antiques, Pointless game shows, Cookery guru TV. Utter Nonsense. Johnson and Cummings decision? ToryBBC

I smell a rat! The BBC is just corrupt. Time to go.

mark pougatch was dropped in a similar manner by the faceless cowards in their ivory towers they should be made to go on points of view to explain their reasoning to those of us who fund the bbc

Shame on you. Real journalism axed in favour of stenography.

Should have kept Victora, and got rid of you useless lot.😡

Rotten news.Get rid of Question Time instead.

Take a hard look at we don’t want to see news readers talking crap from America and Asia

Score for the Patriachy

It's not just this show it's the whole of BBC that needs taking of Air. I'm sure in the next year or two you will be finished with the tv licence. We are living through a power of the people and times are changing.

Praise the Lord.

Hooray About time you got rid of at least one biased bitch. Now Hall is going we might get to some semblance of balance.

I like the show even though I don't always agree with her. Maybe the BBC no longer think it's necessary to deliver news to mainly women now Boris is in charge? Surely ditching Andrew Neil's show or Match of the day repeats would save more? Why have a repeat when we have iPlayer?

It's not like we're short of news programming

Who cares?

Never watched it!

GoodNews

VictoriaLive is not my beverage of choice, but I see EqualPay and false economics as the reasons for replacing this show in the schedule.

She had a trump pig in the studio and laughed at it , now I’m laughing

And so it begins...

2001 before social media was born the BBC instigated ,incited the biggest mainland riots throughout Yorkshire Lancashire Meet Victoria Derbyshire who run the story for months bbc5live needs to be interviewed for the crimes against humanity

Good riddance to her biased crap. I quote Father Jack from the Channel4 TV series Father Ted, 'Who let that gobshite on the television!'

SaveVictoriaLIVE and get rid of BBCQT instead.

The reason given is entirely fatuous. Nothing to do with cuts at BBC. Much more to do with Tories now running BBC being upset by Victoria's forthright approach on topical issues, which unnerved them. She can't be bought off, unlike the tabloids in this undemocratic land.

Please continue with other leftie programmes like Andrew Marr and Question Time.

One of the best programmes on tv these days with one of the best presenters. Taking it off the air is letting down the public. This is too important a programme to take off air. We need more of this high calibre NOT less !!!!

Back off to Radio 5 then, still won't listen to her drivel...

Need take few more off

The BBC should lose its status, lose its public funding, and be privatised.

BBC=Boris Bias Cummings

Fantastic news. She's a c___.

The cost argument makes me suspicious. Seems to me that this is the cheapest kind of programme to make. Was she too challenging in her choices of topic and discussion? State-owned television here we come.

Targeting the unbiased shows. How very BBC!

Wow what a riveting news story! Who the fuckis she anyway? Question for the soon to be disbanded BBC News.

Good to hear.

Take the whole bloody lot off if you like.

Great news ,

Sooner they take overpaid lineker off

Any chance the bbc could hire someone to host Match Of the Day that would be willing to take a decent salary

Fire Kuenssberg! At least Victoria can interview without being a complete c**t about it!

Total waste of tax payers money and her 250 k job and in London . Scrap the fee

Macetrain Shite anyway

Awful show & agressive presenter .

At last I couldn't stand the crap

Surely Question Time is more expensive to make...

To be fair to the BBC, keeping Victoria Derbyshire on would make it more difficult to be totally compliant with the Johnson Government.

Shocking

Or perhaps because it was just constant Brexit bashing?

Deemed as too unsympathetic to the present government.

That was one of the best programmes! Why not Question Time? Andrew Neil interview? The Marr Show? Or move Victoria Derbyshire to their slots?

Promise ?

And that is just the start hopefully.

About time...hardly anyone watches her T.V show. She was paid 200-250k per year from UK taxpayers for a T.V show with only 39,000 viewers, per episode! On the open market, those viewer numbers are worth no more than £100, per episode...she got £5k per episode! lol bbc

This is ridiculous. Even people who have never watched this show will be aware of it's impact, and how it highlights important issues in society. Keep it on air BBC!

An awful lot of people seem to have plenty of time to watch day time telly. Brexit will sort that out.

Disgraceful decision by the BBC!

Good👏👏👏....what’s all the moaners going to do now 🤔...I know get a job and stop scrounging of the state. VictoriaLIVE

Victoria move to Channel4 with stephbreakfast

It’s a really great programme, Victoria and her colleagues are outstanding professionals so it beggars belief that you would axe it. Unless there are other reasons? 🤔

How about directors concentrating on just one Job or resign

Good.

The rot continues

Oh thank god! I can’t stand her smugness

Can't you just cut Strictly and EastEnders? - I seriously have to leave the room when they're on.

Shocking decision. This should be reversed!

But they’ll keep all the mindless rubbish and game shows

I think it's good to discontinue this show, it has got a little to much the same argument every day.

Good.

Crying shame. Do away with rubbish like 'lets dance', or one or two others I could name. What do you do? cut a wonderful journalist like Victoria Derbyshire. Notice you have plenty of money to waste on the new Eastenders set. Disgusting.

The Woke man hating programme which nobody will miss. Remember her using the C word then saying sorry it’s not like me it’s a word that men use? Say the worst word possible live on air and the first thing to think of is blame men!

vicderbyshire VictoriaLIVE Such a shame. I always watch when I can the only decent program on in the morning.

😀Derbyshire is a vile old school scold😀If people wanted to be scolded & lectured to then all of England’s churches would be full😀

How about cutting bbcquestiontime instead! Especially after the performance of a certain actor recently, or is that what you are now.

Get rid of football pundits first. Lineker and Co. Graham Norton, Claudia winkleman etc

Long overdue.

vicderbyshire have you thought of launching shows on YouTube? I think you will do well, and your fans will continue watching your shows on YouTube. You will have more editorial freedom too. Maybe 15 minute segments every week? Local perspectives of news / issues?

Yipee no more whingeing.

WHY ? Is it because it’s too popular. Has Johnson and co told you to take this program off air as it points out all that is wrong with this country and Johnson wants us to believe we are living in paradise

‘I’ll miss her’ said absolutely nobody 🤣

Bloody stupid. An excellent programme that exhibits the best of the BBC‘s female editorial & journalistic talent sacrificed to save money whilst Kuenssberg the worst of the BBC’s female talent is unaffected.

Great news. Next Marr followed by QuestionTime followed by politicslive

Which fool made this decision?! What will be replacing this interesting show discussing real peoples issues with a great host ....another dire programme about buying a house or relocating to Australia! This was the only morning programme worth catching

When this program started out it had covered a range of interesting topics but it has become quite predictable and boring

My theory is she is replacing the question time host so we get a bit of balance but they haven’t worked out how to sack Fiona yet. It couldn’t possibly be the case that they sack good and keep clear political bias. It’s all a cunning plan...

Getting rid of Mrs Brown's Boys and Steve Wright in the afternoon would be better. Insufferable tripe.

If the BBC want to make cuts they should start with the vastly over paid presenters salaries. How can anyone justify getting almost two million quid a year for just a couple of hours work a week? Good use of the licence fee I don't think.

Good.

Shocking bias programme

You have ask why. Would it be because she shows the mess the conservative's are in, the poor, the sick, the disabled, the people forced from homes, cancer victims, DWP deaths, bad motor ways, yes could it be the BB Conservatives don't like her for the truth. Its a con again.

Yay!

Can't figure that out. Ant and Deck, Claudia Winkleman and Gary Lineker get paid stupid money and produce nothing of interest or except for Lineker only spend the odd moment on the screen.

Yet again the BBC is an ass

She has paid the price for being impartial at the Tory BBC

Now massively cut her salary, she obviously doesn't deserve it.

Utterly shameful to cut this, a relatively inexpensive programme that does real good, rather than some of the complete rubbish you show. Victoria Derbyshire is an excellent presenter with real empathy. Get rid of some of the extraordinary biased political presenters instead!

Wise move

Show that has won awards and does some real interview and cross examination is canceled... this feels like pleasing the government to me by silencing

About time its output is contrived woke rubbish like most of BBC news output.

Try ‘bargain hunt’ ‘homes under the hammer’ antiques road trip’ etc lazy programming . Scrap the fee! 🍷

Good to start the day with good news for a change, now time to shut the rest of this rubbish down and get rid of the illegal tax that is the license fee.

Absolutely outrageous

TBH never watched it,, got better things to do during the day than watch TV.

Just compare BBC with France 24. The latter has smart (brain and dress) presenters where programmes are not ‘all about them’! A lot of the BBC presenters look like they have just come back from a WI jumble sale wearing their new purchases!

Not enough lefties watching it, perhaps ?

Isn't this the only political discussion show left on the BBC with a semblance of balance? Probably the reason it needs to go. BBCBias

Little bird tells me, that if you take Match of the Day off the air, you’ll save at least £1.8 million a year. You never know, at that rate, you’ll soon be able to let the over 75 have a free license.

I my opinion, she is one of biggest pushers of the woke, identity obsessed, progressive left wing agenda. No loss.

I wonder what the viewing figures have been like?

Good riddance!

Brilliant news, it a very strange and depressing program !!!!

Stick bbc alba on internet only

Be better to axe all the Reality Gardening and cooking shows. Shove your license up your a*se.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Or is it because it is crp?

Aha! Didn’t she among with other female presenters raise the issue of unequal pay at the Boris broadcasting company..?!!!!

This was the much welcomed informed alternative to the drab programmes on BBC1 and having to put up with (I like myself) Phillip Schofield on ITV.A great shame.

Too many complaints from the Tories that it isn't demonising the poor enough, eh?

Excellent news. Too much overspending on the BBC and too much giving high paying jobs to friends of the board

Its bbcqt bbcquestiontime that needs to be got rid of

Yet you keep all the other shite ?

Good it's biased tripe

fakenews arrogant tripe

Who?

Rejoice

Good it is rubbish and should go.

Sorry, I misread that for a moment and thought it said 'BBC Cunts!'.....😲😉🤣

Seems to ne there are plenty if other places to swing the axe, for example BBC Executive pay, thats a good place to start then get rid of worn out programmes that are so bad, I no longer “tune in” to the BBC for radio, catch up or live broadcasting.

Yet they still fund have I got new for you?! vicderbyshire is a great show!

Biased dross 😳

Gutted obviously 🤣

Then they send half of the BBC on a mega jolly to Davos...😂😂😂....really...come on... The BBC is a disgrace....

Woo hoo 👍

As one who has never watched the Victoria Derbyshire show, may I say that I am delighted that the BBC is making cost savings. First step on a long journey to zero I hope.

Much better to cut minority interest stuff like Imagine with the boringly self indulgent Alan Yentob

Will not miss it... just have rolling news...

She been moving kinda oppy recently lol

They need to be careful, this feels like an -ism lawsuit waiting to happen.

That will be Victoria Derbyshire on Sky in 6 months then

Can the BBC show the cost per hour of its shows? Anybody who works in television knows this kind of format is the cheapest. So unless you replace the show with a black screen, it will be more expensive!

Rather reality shows axed, celebrity is finished

Presume itll be replaced by The Laurence Fox Show.

I’m pleased to hear that this show is going.

Good. Keep slashing away until barely anything left of the bloated, largely pointless BBC.

Good

Good, it's twee rubbish with a rubbish presenter.

Not going to lie, I'll miss it. Usually watch while I'm feeding my son his breakfast. Theres so much crap they could of cut first, how about pay cuts across the BBC? Licence fee payers should not be paying ridiculous salaries out

No doubt she'll blame that on men too!

Is it cause she is white?

It was a high quality show that addressed centre-left concerns, so I guess the Victoria Derbyshire Show getting cut was predictable. All of this is a sign of the kind of reactionary environment that exists in the UK now. That said, the British public didn't deserve her anyway.

Yes 😀😀😀

I always wondered “why her”? Slightly up-market Loose Women is superfluous at this time of day. BBC News Channel sufficient.

newthinker789 So when flicking through the accounts, the Beeb said 'Oh, there's this political show which creates discussion without the audience management shipping in fascists. That's the best place to save a few quid'?

Yep, she was cut alright

Better when her show was on R5Live in the morning

Butter wouldn't melt..

Test card will be more entertaining!

There is a God after all.

Fabulous news vicderbyshire yiu reap what you sow and shabby reactionist pretend journalism will get found out eventually

Cool ... it was load of dogsh1t ... good riddance

Who?

The whole of rolling news 24 wants scraping look at the number in the back ground. Make programs that entertain not bias instruct.

Utterly shambolic waste of airtime victoriaderbyshire is. Suppose the BBC will fill the slot with more rolling news or reruns of crap programs. Time the BBC became a commercial channel. It'll save us money and spare us more years of agony.

Not before time!!🤣 Too much identity politics and smug arrogance from the BBC and the public have had enough of it.

Good riddens

AngelaMcKavana1 Please reconsider this decision BBC. You're about to seriously undermine the intellectual stability of our whole culture....hmm No dump it, it's complete phucking pants.

Scrap the fee.

she cld just take a pay cut

Good start, Marr next?

Great!

No biggie. ..

Thank God.

I was right this show is irrelevant

Why not just take all of the bbc off air! It’s become completely useless woke fakenews crap! QT is full of actors and bbc plants! Your time is coming to an end! You will only betray the people for so long! A propaganda machine Northkorea would be proud of!

Good! More woke biased nonsense

Excellent, it was the worst show I'd ever seen, how the BBC wasted money on rubbish like this is beyond me.

Good

Back of the net

Big mistake BBC 🙏🙏🙏 listen to your viewers. We NEED Victoria and her team. I NEED her to report on this scandal This needs good, strong, honest reporting. It has ripped mine and my families lives apart for 4 horrific years. It needs VictoriaLIVE

Get rid of the gobshite Vine and keep Derbyshire!

Obviously doesn't appeal to the 'Yoof' what you are chasing innit? Some vacuous 'right on' ethnic minority teenager of indeterminate sex what can't speak proper will doubtless be giving the news in 30 second sound bites on BBC3 instead?

Why cut a quality programme that’s really popular and highlights the plights of the marginalised, while retaining BBC Question Time with its handpicked Brexiters?

What about cutting to vastly over hyped salaries

Too political.

Tory Broadcasting Company deletes award winning show is what you mean.

Why this programme? Why not Andrew Marr? Why not Question Time? Victoria Derbyshire is excellent.

Thank god, its just awful. Most annoying, depressing presenter to watch.

Dear BBC, if you're making cuts, please start with Jeremy Vine on Radio 2. Save you a fortune. Save me changing stations 5 times a week. Thanks.

Thank goodness, about time! Amateurish, biased, very little success for goodness knows how many hours of airtime - what an absolute waste of licence payers hard earned £cash.

Awful woman. Typical BBC feminazi.

Do us a favour and stop broadcasting all together.

Who’s gonna do all the on air man bashing for the bbc now... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great, leftist mumbo jumbo anyway

About time too!

Here we go, BBC taking good programs off the air. Stop paying the likes of Jeremy Vine etc ridiculous salaries. They are not worth the money. Talentless people and over paid.

Womp womp, oh dear, nevermind. But its no loss, the anti-Brexit bias over the last 3.5 years killed this show off, good riddance..

BorisJohnson can we have a referendum to rid the world of bbc Brainwashing Brits Consistently

I know nothing of TV production, but it's difficult to fathom why this show was especially expensive. Maybe money could be saved elsewhere by having fewer correspondents standing in deserted London streets for no apparent reason. Anyway, here's the exciting replacement:

Good riddance to V.D

Good.

Great news another far left overpaid propagandist bites the dust. defundthebbc

NatashaJahnse Andrew Neill propaganda to continue

Am rather surprised.

I've never watched it but if it is current affairs why not absorb it into the news channel, to give them something to talk about rather than endlessly repeating the news every fifteen minutes

The censorship begins.

Ah no!!! Ah well.. let’s just get on with our life then.

This is outrageous. What a poor decision.

The one bright spot in BBC current affairs coverage! BBC will be all the poorer for the loss of VictoriaLIVE. Bad decision, BBC. BAD decision. Thank you, Victoria, for being the best BBC journo, consistently over time, holding our weasel politicians to account. VictoriaLIVE

I’m not surprised the ‘woke’ BBC have axed it... It isn’t diverse enough and stinks of the patriarchy. The only thing that needs to be axed at the BBC is the BBC itself.

of course it is, because she was actually one of the few unbiased, critical journalists left at the BBC. fascism

YAY ! Can't stand her. She spends more time talking over guests she's just asked a question to than the guests themselves. It's what passes for 'hard-hitting journalism' on the BBC these days. I just think it's plain ignorant & rude. I want to hear guests' opposing views to mine.

🤷‍♂️

I thought Victoria, Derbyshire, was a village!

WHAT?!?! Noooooooo.

WTAF There’s loads of shite on the BBC and you take this strong, articulate, informed woman off air Oh wait I see it now, racism & fascism came first now the out & out misogyny comes next until no women have a voice at the BBC, well you can kiss my arse for licence fees!

They will replace it with some rubbish like bargain hunt or homes under the hammer .... and repeats at that !

Those question time politically incorrect triggerers don't come cheap.

Oh! Was it any good, I never watched it, not much on BBC I do watch.

At last.

Always wondered who the most dreadful presenter on TV/Radio was Derbyshire or Sheila Foggarty ,Foggarty appearance wish obviously. She would make a man with a life sentence throw up.🤢

Could you take every one of your current affairs shows in Scotland with it please? Especially the BBCQT.

Shocking

Yippee.. BOYCOTT all things the BBC

Cuts? FFS. Of all the opportunities to save money, they choose this.

And replaced by another football programme hosted by the grossly overpaid Lineker or yet another cookery prog?

ShamaanViolet Please sign 👇👇👇👇

Good .... it’s just a bunch of lefty, liberal snowflakes, whining all the time about Brexit,transgender rights and how Muslims are misunderstood and should be forgiven for raping thousands of innocent, white, English children !!! THE LEFTY WNKSTAINS WILL MISS IT TERRIBLY 🙄

But why?

If this show goes then it’s time to close down the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (aka bbcnews and BBCPolitics) entirely - Ofcom

😂💯👍

Can't have a programme that treats victims of austerity fairly can we? No doubt to be replaced by more poverty porn treating them as scroungers.

And nothing to do with the demographic of its audience?

I've a good idea, BBC 2 can show a test card all day. It'll be more entertaining and nobody can claim it's right or left wing bias. Now, all we need is a mixed race, trans 'woman' and a chalkboard and a cuddly toy and a dog....

'Deemed too high' what on earth does that mean, I found it rather boring sometimes and no longer watch it but 'high' never found it high class so could it be high priced, what do you think?

Next DG then, so obvious!

Best news I’ve today.

Brilliant news! Now all the Beeb has to do is clear out the rest of “woke” holier than thou mob, stop dumbing down and get back to being objective and unbiased in its current affairs and soft news. This “chat mag” was none of those things.

That is a great shame and loss

If staff at the BBC weren't so greedy this might not happen

Good. I hate that show. It's a fly in the ointment of the news channel morning.

That's what happens when little known presenters demand the same pay as big name presenters. It just ends up with the channel having to cut programmes to pay for it.

Excellent news

If the BBC needs to cut costs bin some of the top paid presenters and execs and give some younger lower cost people an opportunity.

Very disappointed. Excellent programme but the BBC are too blind to see it. It's a prime TV show going to waste. Let's hope other channels snap it up. 😳🤫

This is horrendous news. Put it on bbc1 and get rid of homes under the hammer. Stupid decision.

Good now deal with the repeated shite

I didn't know she had a show

Cut all political / debate based programming. And instruct presenters to deliver the news - not opinions. You know, like you used to do when you were an institution the country could be proud of.

I’ve never seen it. Too late now.

Absolute toss that show. CrumbsCrunchy

Half the stories.on the BBC news site referenced this show. I have always been for the licence fee by am sorry to say that given some of the drivel it now puts out and the kind of content no longer produced I am much less concerned than I was were it to.disappear

Good I can't stand her

Thank God she so anti British and a reminder and as not stop pull poeple up over BREXIT. 🤗🤗🤗

Why don’t you sack the ageing overpaid rightwhingers rather than the clever, outspoken female voices. Oh sexism at the bbc again. bbctoo

This one might actually be a Brexit casualty, the BBC will cease to be funded by the EU soon. Notice also how much they are ploughing into their digital network; from our taxes, for which they intend to charge us for. Great that you can build a private company; with public funds

excellent cut --- she's shite & the show's garbage get rid of the overpaid dull woke robots on bbc5live while you're at it

I really hope you guy cut off all operations

Always happy to hear anything get cancelled at the BBC. But why stop there? Close the whole sh!t show down!

BBC in poor treatment/ removal of yet another excellent journalist/ presenter shocker ?!? As per Danny Baker’s tweet yesterday the BBC’s days are numbered

Brilliant

vicderbyshire So sorry to read this...such a good programme ... indeed award-winning program and has achieved so much .... what a crazy decision 😢😢

Good she was awful

Good.

Now how am I supposed to get depressed in the mornings after this bombshell?

News channel should not broadcast 24/7. 6am to midnight is enough. BBC 4 is total repeat rubbish. Old TOTPs and old music content not worthy of todays market. Radio 3 and 4 should combine. 5 live could pare down to 10 hours broadcast time. That's just for starters.

Terrible programme. Biased fake news. Good riddance

Let me know when comes off air, that would be an absolute delight

DancerGuard Good. Terrible wokey man-hating show.

I've never watched it so I won't miss it 😊

DancerGuard Good didn't watch it it was shit

Good

Yes i love her programme!

Oh, I always thought this was one of the better BBC shows. How about you stop using our money to pay extortionate amounts to so called celebrities and fund actually good shows?

Late Christmas present ! 🎁

A factual show to be axed that compliments BBC News. More borin Boris reports. More Trump Tariff Tantrums.

It’s not very good.

Just leave BBC6Music please 🙏

It’s a start. What about all the rest?

Get rid of Linker et al

Better to cut that leftie lineker save more.

BBC Cancellation 0300 790 6110 Cancel that BBC licence. defundthebbc

She is in the top ten wokey wokest presenters the BBC have. And that is a high woke bar.

Good! Biased propaganda masquerading as a newszine.

Good, I will never forgive her and the bbc for their anti Trump bias, for encouraging anti Trump protests & for this set on VictoriaLIVE The day before the President of the US came for his state visit to the UK. The BBC have not been neutral when reporting Trump & Brexit Shame

Yasssss💪

Oh no , she was so good

Maybe if the Beeb didn't pay £200 a day chauffeuring mrdanwalker to work every day that would save money getridofthetvlicencefee

Many thanks 👍 scrap the license fee 👌

vicderbyshire far too woke for it not to be picked up by another channel. I'm just gobsmacked BBC cancelled it. victoriaderbyshire

Good

🎉🎉🎉

Cull QT instead

The final nail in your coffin. You clearly don't want anyone on your air time holding the government to account. I've been thinking about cancelling my licence fee for a while and refuse to watch Marr, Question Time, etc. This has now pushed me into doing so. Bye bye bbc

No great shame, it used to be good, now it’s just sensationalist nonsense

👍

Good start

This is such a shame. vicderbyshire has always been someone that championed important issues for everyday people. Hope she’s given another opportunity to broadcast.

Ger rid of that short-arsed tw4t, Mike Bushell

It wins awards. So you just want some cheap reality show on instead?

Take the BBC off air, nothing worthwhile on it

WTF?

What are you doing with the money you save? Giving the over 70s their free TV licences back?

I doubt that anyone would pay to watch it

How many greedy BBC women will suddenly find that they are not worth as much as 'comparable' men and will price themselves out of a job?

How about replacing it with the Joanna Gosling show? She seems to do it most of the time and is much better. I realise Victoria was ill a while ago, but don't understand why she's rarely on it now, and when she is I find her quite condescending. Joanna is much more professional.

...and?

Sensible.

yeah they've got to pay that other woman back dated wages, for her 10 min show

Well, at least there's some good coming out of the cuts!...

Excellent news! Thanks for making my day 🙂

Perhaps you shouldn't be paying women 400 grand a year to read the news ?

Gutted. Never heard of her.

It's the only news show I tune in to. I love the balance of news and personal interest stories and issues.

Only decent news show BBC has 🙄

Save on her wages for a one hour show , how about the one show next that would save a million a year on presenters wages

Good!

Oh what a shame. Another programme that I purposely don't watch being taken off air. 😅😂🤣

What? BBC why would you do this? vicderbyshire you bring so many important topics to debate!

Has there been a cut in the license fee or what?

Try firing people like Gary Lineker instead of cancelling this show. Victoria Derbyshire has much better news than Gary Lineker ever will have

Not because she asked pressing questions about the tories 🤔

Far left freak show is no more, there is a God. Do a crime hour if you dare. What's been stolen, who is missing (people and pets) and who is in the courts. Keep it simple.

Stop paying Gary Lineker millions....better still sack him. Stop spending millions on Glastonbury & stop sending hundreds of BBC staff to cover it. The list is endless.....

Good

Sack a few Presenters who you pay a million plus a year and you need not cut back common sense

Woop woop, total. Gash anyrd fakews sold 1 way

Yet the Andrew Neil show remains...

Politics Live and QT also please.

Shock. The one with decent journalistic standards is the one that goes!

This is the only BBC news programme I watch. Actually shocked at this news. VictoriaLIVE

The only one with a smidgen of impartiality. Well done

Gosh... who knew ‘D’ notices were still in play ...?

AngelaPower7 Good

A rare dissenting voice silenced by Pro-right BBC

Good.

Was this the lady who wasn't very good with names? 😯

Please cut BBC 1..2..3..4...And BBC Radio.....And Local stations that nobody listens to....😉

She'd be better back on Radio 5 Live. She didn't translate to TV in the way that some others have done.

That's a damn shame

Good I don't like this programme anyway

That will be a loss......

Move her to JV R2 time as he has C5 morning show. Bring new vibe to R2 12-2?

Its a matter of who watches all these news programmes in the mornings up against ITV . Too much serious stuff that time of day after dull BBC Breakfast

Not a good decision. Victoria Derbyshire is a good journalist and it's an award winning show. There are plenty of other things you could have cut.

Yes , good decision. Get rid of Nicky Campbell, Rachel The Burden and Nolan as well and then make your way through the rest of the woke bias presenters until they're all gone , then sack yourselves at the last. The End.

The word is she didn't fit the bbc propaganda narrative. They don't do truth in the BBC in the UK anymore. What's the chances you get the Kuenssburg Daily show... Look out for people using woke and wokeness in replies here. It'll happen, sad.

Well I've sent my licence back. Not paying for a Tory propaganda machine

One who actually was fairer than most

What a shame it is an excellent programme.

Why not ditch the awful EastEnders

Pointless show anyway

Fair enough, but why does the bbc waste money filming Rip off Britain in Tenerife?

Good. More biased bile pushed to the rubbish tip

Tbh I doubt anyone will miss it.

Well she isn’t a rabid Tory. More balanced. Centrist. That’ll teach her!! 🙄

Are we going to get a rubbish programme instead? One that doesn’t have a presenter that asks decent questions? Hardly the most expensive programme to produce I would have thought, or are you now having to do equal pay?

how about Question Time & Andrew Neil show next, both have huge salaries & production cost.

PhilipCJames Grotesque waste of time and money

that is crazy.

Question is ... how did it make it on air?

How about you just cut every thing. 100%. Close, board up the doors. Give us our coerced money back and compete in a commercial landscape.

Can’t you get rid of bbclaurak instead. Think you’d win lots of support from the public for that adjustment. You are going to need us in the Cumming years

The wokes are apoplectic. Lol!

It's utter drivel, no loss.

Love it !

A poor yet entirely unsurprising decision from beeb's resident News overlords. She was far too good a journalist and dangerously independent a presenter. BBC News, once the envy of the world; now little more than a vapid paper cup at the end of the government of the day's string.

Crazy decision. There are other programs that won't be missed. This show has done great stuff on knife crime, child abuse in football, Grenfell, and the use of mesh in gynae and hernia surgery.

Good start. Now ditch night bbcquestiontime BBCr4today and all the other narrow-minded over-politicised shows which have drifted so far out of touch with the ordinary people who fund the BBC . DCMS

Produce straight forward programs, telling how it is. Not left wing opinions. Not promoting minority groups . Finally paying telephone number wages to over inflated egotistical presenters, stop that, and hey presto, money for decent programming

2020 keeps getting better. She was abysmal on Radio 5Live and worse on TV. Total turn off as soon as she came on. I switched to Sky in the morning - best of two ills.

It’s rubbish that is why

Prob due to lack of viewing figures but they will not say that

It'll give something for the BBC to repeat next week

Good utter shite.

vicderbyshire So very sorry. 😢

This is such bad news. This programme saved me during my maternity leave. I may have been sofa bound at times, buy this fed my brain so I didn't feel like total mush. It's now my go to on my days at home to keep me informed. Such a shame BBC. VictoriaLIVE team - you are all fab!

Good riddance.

You have strictly, get rid of this

This SUCKS!

This is a truly terrible decision! This programmes gives voice to people, issues and conditions that rarely have the chance. Many, eg. mesh repair for prolapse have proved to be massively important. Seriously wondering about value of my Licence Fee 😔

There is a God

SWSandy_ Jeremy cnut springs to mind....good riddance i say...🇬🇧

Whilst you're at axe Strickly, Eastenders and that damn annoying Daived Attenborough

Not exactly a loss as it happens I don’t think !!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! WHEN IS GARY LINEKER GOING WHEN IS GRAHAM NORTON GOING? WHEN IS LAURA KUENSSBERG GOING? DO THE UK A FAVOUR AND SHUT DOWN THE BBC AND THE SICK OBSCENE SALARIES THEY PAY. MILLIONS OF POUNDS FOR PRESENTERS TO LIVE OFF THOSE WHO BARELY EXIST. DISGUSTING!!!

Pleased to hear this. Not a great show.

Wasn't a great fan but pretty sure lots of people enjoyed her news. BBC just being the Old Boys Club again.

But too centre-left for you?

🍾Not even passed the first month and it's a great year.

👍🎉🍾🍺🥃🙂

One of the few journalists left at the BBC with any integrity, so of course you are the programme. Disgraceful behaviour by the BBC, your news and politics divisions are truly in the gutter.

Thank God,as there's just not enough room for repeats anymore

Oh no.... what a shame... Seriously though, hopefully all those who will lose their jobs in the cuts will find work quickly

Result

Has Doris and Cummings decided she has not been exhibiting the correct behaviours?

Sorry to hear that but best get out before BBC sold to Trump

I’d love her to come to 5live and take over from Nicky Campbell!!

Hurrah!

Good news, the bigger the cuts the better, Slowly slowly, You're dying aren't you, the BBC Becoming more irrelevant with each passing day, further & further removed from the general consensus , still pandering to your special interests. tvlicence

Yeah, you won’t be needing journalists where you are going. BoJoTV

Must of blown the budget in the Dr Woke makeup department...….

Not surprised she was not very good.

The bbc is turning into the really Tv channel , more repeats,

Thank goodness!!

👏🏻👏🏻 Woohoo...!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Can’t they just cancel Gary Lineker who presents shows people watch anyway and costs stupid money?

I am disappointed to read this. It discussed very thought-provoking topics.

Licence fee dodging is already decriminalised in Scotland

No love this should be back for 2 hour a day brillant show and she help loads Very sad still missed her on bbc5live the made the mistake of leaving London it not the same anymore with great Presenter left the station, vicderbyshire VictoriaLIVE

We are so sad to hear this. VictoriaLIVE has covered so many important issues - including cuts to bereavement support payments. What a shame AnnaCollinson

Who has the time to watch this crap ?

All well and good but what usually happens at the BBC it doesnt save much money they find them a job elswhere VictoriaDerbyshire got this one has she refused to move to Salford with bbc5live

Thank fk for that..... guess you'll find a cheaper islamophobe to replace her.....i don't know....katiehopkins

Good news!

🥱

Bad and Sad News.This kind of show focuses on dishonest organisations like AXA Insurance and its CEO, a guy called Claudio, It’s Good to see he is living the dream by ripping off customers. So many legitimate claims deliberately avoided...No pay-out. He must be proud man!!

Are you dropping anything of value and replacing it with dumbed down drivel?

She’s awful, so this is a good move

Cut salaries, get rid of some of the radio stations and all the silly local channels, get rid of BBC news channel and allow advertising.

Victoria will be seeking compo from the BBC and shouting its because I'm female

You have to be losing the plot! No more vicderbyshire WHY? 😡

Best News i have heard today

Why not Question Time?

mrjamesob pretty much destroyed any chance of anyone watching it, his fault, everyone him tomorrow and he can do a segment before mysteryhour

My favourite moment was you getting Jeremy Hunts name wrong 😂😂😂😂

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Get rid of bbcquestiontime instead. And Laura K. That should do it.

What Sort of Nonsense is this. The Victoria Derbyshire Show has won more awards for the BBC than any Actual News Reporting. Journalism at its best. What a shame. I wonder how much its a Government stich up

Was just a platform for spare 6 figure salary presenters, waste of money again from BBC.

Thank god for that To Save money suprise’ s me I would have thought it cost next to nothing

Gooood!

Poor decision.

all it talked about was Muslims, Transgenders mental health issues, white man bad, gender politics, orangeman bad, LGBT and how the slums have so much soul it was a pile of shit basically, cmon Boris, cut the legs of the BBC

addicted2newz Hurrah. Smug and condescending.

It has run its course. I never found it the most balance programme!

BBC cuts?

This is a dreadful idea. It’s a great programme

.....and no doubt replaced with a home renovation show or a consumer rights show presented by several old farts only people in their 90s would remember!

Good. Boring program anyway. And she never speaks up

Just thinking. I’m sure Victoria would like to do a show about great railway journeys in Derbyshire.

Award winning programme out, dross in....

Good it’s crap

OzKaterji Was she not brexitty and Tory enough?

Thank goodness for that. She is so condescending.

Not sure this will be a great loss, it has been scrapping the barrel recently.

It was rubbish! I'm glad!

Oh good. I can start watching BBC news again between 10-12. Fanbloodytastic 😁

I will not be happy until the whole BBC is strapped

they broadcast it simultaneously all over the place BBC2, BBC news, BBC 5 live so will have to replace all shows. But to be honest no wonder the bbc have lost the young audience when every show is either news or antiques - the bbc only caters for retired during day.

Can you not bin Mrs Browns Boys and all that shit instead

There is a god!! Terrible show and horrible women

Boris in, Brexit done, and now this? Thank you, Jesus!

Good news. Its rubbish.

Not surprised as she is up against fella BBC alumni JeremyVineOn5, we only need so many topical discussion shows in the morning. Plus GMB lorraine thismorning have moved their slots....need online it goes on and on and on...

So not all bad news

OzKaterji Great news. Next theoneshow

Good it's crap

Thank fuck

Someone has to pay - I would get rid of the duplicate local and national weather - This could save £500m and it wouldn’t make any difference - Or Ditch the Scottish Channel - Theres 5m East Anglian’s and we don’t get a channel - Everyone can see the weather on their App.

To be fair, I’ve always found her unbias and has different view points.

Good news Was the most anti Brexit show on BBC tried everything in its power to turn around Brexit Someone else who couldn't support what the people voted for not fit for purpose the BBC

Why dont the just cut GaryLineker and all the others they are stupidly paying a fortune for as well?!

Who ?

Most people don’t watch it. The BBC has too many programmes like this, and at the end of the day most Licence fee payers want to be entertained.

Have never even seen an episode

How about getting rid of pointless.,casualty,Eastenders to name three.I turn all three off but Victoria Derbyshire is interesting.Its a good current affairs programme of which there is not enough.

Thank goodness for that. Used to be a good programme but why did I always find the stand in presenters much better than Victoria.

Journalism defunded and criminalised. World king’s election crimes brushed under the lumpy carpet. Democracy dead as the dinosaurs.

I bet Jeremy Hunt is laughing somewhere...... 🤭

If you axed only half of the incessant and long weather reports, I’m sure that would save a fortune.

Maybe they could just cut BBC3, BBC4, BBC Scotland and half of their radio station. Put decent programmes on BBC 1 and 2 maybe start with celebrating diversity of thought!

Good riddance

addicted2newz Good. What a waste of air time and money.

Rather see them cut the sports out instead

good, she's rubbish. Now get rid of Question Time.

VictoriaLive What’s up BBC? Too compassionate towards the poor? Did Boris day ‘off with her head’?

mssassysally No loss there....😂

Good.

Good. Soooooo biased.

Well that’s going to be disastrous for your virtue signaling quota! What’ll you replace it with? Islamophobia in the LGBTQ community?

Hardly surprising - She is never there! Always Joanna Gosling and others holding the fort. New show - ‘Gossip with Gosling’

Who's going to peddle shocked cardiginism to the easily amused now?!

it is BS this is not a cut the show is crap, expensive and has no viewers

addicted2newz Good! She was awful...and very smug with it.

addicted2newz It would be interesting to know how many complaints have been acted on that have been highlighted on NEWSWATCH, every time a n editor is on to explain they just brush the complaint aside

addicted2newz The first of many I hope

But you’ll keep homes under the fckn hammer FFS

Who?

Absolute crap with bias at the forefront. Good riddance.

Great

Does that mean Jason Mohammad will be hosting motd as he is more than capable and is only around £300k a year rather than Big Ears who is on over inflated £1.75 million 🤔😏👍

Good news.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂years over due what a load of bias garbage that programme was a massive waste as most BBC programmes are of our TV licence TAX

But still enough money for about twenty eight episodes of Eastenders a week, a new series of Little Britain and another twelve years of Mrs Brown's Boys Xmas specials

it is woke crap, victoria the SJW, good riddance

There is a all powerful merciful god........

Any chance you can also cull those programmes where people go around UK or to Australia/New Zealand on the pretext that they 'want to re-locate'. Truth is (imho) they all just want a free holiday at the licence payers expense.
