Talk:On Assignment

Questionable list of programmes

The current list of On Assignment programmes, covering the first seven programmes (and months) from the start in March 2014, is becoming increasingly irrelevant. We're now 36 months later and nobody has added any more programmes. I would suggest that the list of programmes is replaced with some general text about reception, criticism, praise and comparison with BBC's Reporters, which is very similar in concept and has been running weekly since 1997.Thomas Blomberg (talk) 11:00, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
