Victoria Derbyshire is a British weekday current affairs programme, which was simulcast from April 2015 to March 2020 on BBC Two and BBC News Channel, hosted by Victoria Derbyshire.[4] Its remit includes original stories, exclusive interviews and audience debates.[5]

It also acts as a showcase for BBC journalism using reports and interviews by BBC Nations and Regions, BBC World Service, language services and other programmes such as Newsnight, World News Today and Global, plus the BBC Online teams such as BBC Trending and BBC Pop Up. Occasionally the uncut versions of interviews were aired as well, in this case they were taken in place of HARDtalk and aired by BBC World News as well.
