Sunday Morning Live is a live topical magazine and discussion programme that explores ethical, moral, religious, and social issues affecting people across the UK. It brings together studio guests, filmed reports and contributions from viewers to tackle current affairs, life-and-belief topics, and debates about community and personal values every Sunday morning. The show aims to open up conversations on sometimes complex and sensitive subjects, inviting diverse viewpoints and thoughtful engagement rather than straightforward news reporting.
The programme is usually an hour long and is presented live, which allows it to incorporate real-time viewer input via calls, texts and social media alongside planned interviews and segments. The show also invites a mix of guests, including experts, community leaders, religious figures, campaigners and members of the public, who engage in discussion or debate about the topics being examined.
Sunday Morning Live is currently presented by Sean Fletcher and Mehreen Baig, who co-host the show as it explores topical debate, ethical questions, religion and community issues live on Sunday mornings. In various episodes, other BBC presenters like Holly Hamilton also feature as co-hosts or alternating presenters, helping to bring varied voices and styles to the show.
Across its run, Sunday Morning Live has adapted its presenting lineup and segments but has maintained its core mission of facilitating thoughtful discussion rooted in ethical and often faith-inclusive perspectives. This format gives voice to people and communities whose experiences directly relate to the week’s topic.
