The Sunday Show is a flagship weekly current affairs and political programme that airs live on Sunday mornings and sets the tone for the week’s political conversation. The show brings together in-depth interviews, expert analysis and debate on the latest developments from Holyrood, Westminster and beyond, focusing on issues that matter most to Scottish audiences.
Its format combines one-to-one interviews with leading politicians, policymakers and commentators, studio discussion and audience-driven questions to offer clarity and context around complex stories. The show has become a key platform for unpacking decisions on public services, economic policy, constitutional matters and social affairs, helping viewers make sense of what’s shaping Scotland’s present and future.
Each episode typically opens with a news roundup that highlights the biggest headlines of the past week and previews the stories likely to dominate the week ahead. From there, the host leads rigorous conversations with guests who are directly involved in or responding to those issues, from party leaders and government ministers to voices from civic society and campaign groups. The range of voices ensures that differing perspectives are heard, and interviewees are often pressed on policy details, political strategy and accountability, giving audiences insight into both substance and spin.
The Sunday Show is presented by Gary Robertson, an experienced political journalist and broadcaster who brings authority and sharp insight to the programme each week. Known for his incisive interviewing style, Robertson leads rigorous conversations with senior politicians and key decision-makers, ensuring they are challenged on policy and accountability. His deep knowledge of Scottish and UK politics helps guide viewers through complex issues with clarity and balance.
