The One Show was a television show on BBC One, broadcast on weekdays at 6.55pm between August 14 and September 8, 2006. The programme was initially commissioned for four weeks in this slot and was billed as a topical magazine show hosted by Adrian Chiles and Nadia Sawalha, with reports supplied by Kate Humble, Anna Adams, Dan Snow, Martin Lewis, Rajesh Mirchandani, and Matt Baker. Adrian also wrote a behind the scenes diary which was published on the show's website.
It has been reported that the show will return in early 2007[1], "revamped, and moved from Birmingham to London, it is going to be stripped every weekday at 7pm for a year, starting in the spring" and 85% of the content will come from all over the UK, "The One Show is the biggest single commission outside returning drama the BBC has ever handed out"[2]. It will replace the Real Story, [3] and 37 year old Holiday [4]

[edit] Transmission
The show was transmitted from a temporary studio built at The Mailbox complex in Birmingham. Technical facilities were provided by NEP Visions, with an Outside Broadcast truck parked-up in the loading bay. The show was produced by BBC Birmingham, with production input from various BBC regions. The initial four week run was for test purposes, to see whether the show was successful in attracting audiences, and has been recommissioned on that basis.
[edit] Featured stories
During the programme's run, several experts, as well as presenters from other BBC programmes presented certain reports and ran experiments. Among these included Kate Humble travelling around the United Kingdom in search of specific wildlife each day; Martin Lewis providing tips for saving money, as well as Carol Thatcher attempting to survive for a week on £8.45 a day - the amount the Prudential estimated many state pensioners were living on after tax deductions.
[edit] Regional news integration
The One Show ran the half-hour from 18:55 to 19:25, trimming five minutes from the end of the regional news programmes that run weeknights from 18:30. The One Show then handed back to the regions at 19:25 for regional news and weather and national news presented for the first time from each regional studio (rather than the networked national news studio).
[edit] Photo competition
Throughout the initial four week run, a wildlife photo competition was held, designed to find the best photograph captured by a viewer. The winner, Annie Kerridge, was announced on September 7, 2006 and she was interviewed live on the programme. Entries are available to view on the BBC's interactive services.
To aid with sending entries, a special BBC group was set up on photographic sharing website Flickr, where viewers with accounts could upload them
