AMOL RAJAN TO HOST NEW INTERVIEW SERIES FOR BBC TWO

The BBC’s Media Editor, Amol Rajan, is set to host a major new interview series for BBC Two.

Amol will bring his trademark insight and flair to the show, which will see him carry out in-depth interviews with high-profile global guests who are shaping the way we live today, from tech barons to business leaders to cultural influencers.

Alongside his role as the BBC's Media Editor, Amol will be also be joining the Radio 4 Today programme presenting team later this Spring.

Later this year Amol will present a new 2x60' current affairs series for BBC Two. It will tell the definitive story of one of the most dramatic periods for a generation, charting the years in which the younger royals - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - have charted very different courses in their relationship with the media.

Amol said: "Our deep, extensive reporting on the royals has uncovered some remarkable stories, on a subject of global - and growing - fascination. As for the interviews, I’d better get some."

Patrick Holland, Controller BBC Two, says: “I am delighted that Amol is returning to BBC Two with these ambitious projects. He is a brilliant broadcaster, who is excited by debate and complexity, and his skills are perfectly suited to these long-form documentary and interview projects on BBC Two.”
