THE PLEDGE, SKY NEWS, THURSDAY 8PM

It was once fashionable to sneer at Sky News, but the channel has moved on a great deal in recent years, and their programming these days is innovative and refreshing. That’s certainly the case with the Pledge, a current affairs forum in which panellists with radically opposing political views discuss the week’s big stories and frankness, humour and mutual respect. Panel regulars include Greg Dyke, Nick Ferrari, Michelle Mone and June Sarpong.
