The programme began in November 1989 on the same day as television cameras were first allowed into the House of Commons.

The programme was presented by Nick Robinson and Iain Macwhirter. Robinson left the BBC to join ITV and Macwhirter went on to report on the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood Live.
