Tonight (often referred to as
The Tonight Programme) is a British current affairs programme, produced by
ITV Studios (formerly
Granada Television) and
ITN for the
ITV network, replacing the long-running investigative series
World in Action in 1999. Previously airing twice-weekly, on Monday and Friday evenings at 8.00pm (
ITV Wales,
STV and
UTV would often air the show at different times or different days, to make way for regional programming), the show runs the gamut from human interest-led
current affairs to
investigative journalism.
Tonight has conducted interviews with a plethora of political and public figures, including
George W. Bush,
Tony Blair and
Hillary Clinton. From 1999-2007, the programme was known as
Tonight with Trevor McDonald.
