I just saw the Reform Party's PEB. Not going to express any view on
their politics, but the PEB was certainly novel! Although of course
somewhat spoiled by the BBC's relaxed attitude to scheduling precision
(i. e. I didn't know whether it hadn't ended, or someone had just
forgotten to press a button). [I presume it was just a matter of the
Beeb running late (I didn't see the start).]

It was the same on ITV earlier. Probably the only PEB which was worth
listening to, if you get my drift. ;-)

With a similar comment in the other post about its showing on ITV, it
suggests that any fault was with reform or the people who made their
programme rather than the BBC.

I doubt there was someone pressing buttons to play the recording

I have managed to completely avoid all PEBs so not seen it.

Noting went wrong.

It performed its objective very well indeed, as it has had more people
talking about the party than all of the other PEBs put together

A very clever piece of marketing.
