Summer Replacement
Each year Marr is away for several weeks during the summer. In past years, the programme was replaced by News 24 Sunday, which was hosted by Peter Sissons. The programme had a similar format to The Andrew Marr Show, but was also broadcast on the BBC News Channel, and came from the channel's studio. 2008 onwards features a new arrangement with guest presenters through July and replaced in August by a BBC News bulletin.
The guest presenters have included; Zeinab Badawi, Sophie Raworth, Fiona Bruce, Stephanie Flanders, Huw Edwards, Martha Kearney, Emily Maitlis, James Landale and Jeremy Vine.

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or replacement:
“And a sigh heaves from all the small things on earth,
The books, the papers, the old garters and union-suit buttons
Kept in a white cardboard box somewhere ...
The summer demands and takes away too much,
But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Not even the visionary or mystical experience ever lasts very long. It is for art to capture that experience, to offer it to, in the case of literature, its readers; to be, for a secular, materialist culture, some sort of replacement for what the love of god offers in the world of faith.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
