You need to go.

Let's do something does make me a bit.

I think I had, I knew the team at Sky over many years.

You know what it's like in the industry.

You sort of get to know people, don't you?

So I'd had a sort of initial contact, initial breakfast meeting.

And then things sort of picked up over the summer, last summer.

My agent got a call and then we sort of... Things don't work quickly in TV, do they?

Well, I think I also needed time to get my head around a big shift.

And, you know, I kept on sort of trying it out in my head, you know, what would this feel like, having my own show, you know, doing it in a very different way.

Yeah, success or failure, my name's on the tin.

And I just had to sort of roll that around a bit and see what that would feel like.

But, you know, in the end, the offer from Sky of this, my own programme, 7pm, so, you know, the same time slot as my old show, so not too much change all at once.

Politics, I love politics.

I've always loved politics.

It's returning to Westminster for me 15 years after I left it as a correspondent.

So all of that, plus the investigations that I'll be doing, which I love doing at Channel 4, and I'll be doing the same sort of hard-hitting investigations at Sky.

They've got this brand-new documentaries team, which is absolutely fantastic, actually run by someone from Channel 4.

And I'll be doing a podcast, which I'll launch in the autumn.

So all of that put together, it was kind of impossible to say no, really.
