Working Lunch, BBC Two's award-winning daily business, personal finance and consumer news programme, gets the thumbs up from APA as a valuable source of current information for PAs.APA DG, Gareth Osborne, admits “I may be a late adopter of this daily update on all matters influencing business but I am now an addict. I tend to watch it on BBC I Player and catch up on missed shows at weekends but I rate the show highly and particularly like the presentational style.”
The programme has been on air since September 1994 and bills itself as providing "Business news you can use" and boasts presenting it with a sense of humour and sharp insight - accompanied by the funniest graphics on BBC Two (according to them). Presenters Declan Curry and Naga Munchetty manage a fine balance between in-depth interview and informative banter and demonstrate a good grasp of commercial issues.
And their Biogs may give an insight into why they have such a good understanding of business; or more correctly that old northern assertion of ’where there’s muck, there’s brass’, as Naga plays jazz trumpet (and classical piano) and Declan plays the trombone – together they make a perfect team to track down those ‘on the fiddle’.
Members thoughts would be appreciated.

I agree Gareth, it covers current business items in a clear, concise and 'entertaining' way - business doesn't have to be boring! I enjoy Dominic Laurie reporting style is also great. Philip even delayed his vacation to appear on the programme a few months ago and believe me he wouldn't do that for just any programme!
Thanks Tracy, good to hear Philip watches as well.
