Dateline London


Dateline London is a weekly news discussion programme.
Each week, a panel of four leading journalists, lecturers, and commentators, discuss top news stories from an international perspective.

Hosts

Dateline London was first hosted by Charles Wheeler, and subsequently by Gavin Esler. Shaun Ley and Maxine Mawhinney all served as stand-in hosts during Esler's tenure.
Esler hosted his final edition on 25 March 2017, and Mawhinney on 8 April 2017. Since 15 April 2017, Dateline London was hosted on rotation by Jane Hill or Shaun Ley, while Carrie Gracie and Tim Willcox provided occasional cover.
Since January 2019, Carrie Gracie has presented most Dateline London broadcasts since her return from paid leave in mid-2018.
