Despatch Box
The final programme titles.

Despatch Box was a late night political analysis television programme produced by the BBC and broadcast on BBC Two between 1989 and 2002. The programme was presented by Andrew Neil and produced at the BBC's Millbank studios in London.

Following changes to sitting hours in the United Kingdom parliament, the programme was discontinued, and Neil moved to present The Daily Politics and This Week.[1]
