The Context (TV programme)

It focused on the current US Administration, global politics, Brexit and news from around the world, with attempted punches of irreverent wit and fun.

The show was presented from various locations during this time such as Brussels (during European Council meetings), BBC News Singapore (for a week during the 2018 North Korea–United States summit).

The show was also presented, for a week in May 2018, from London and Windsor by Kay and Fraser respectively, during the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

In the back half of the final programme, frequent contributors Jon Sopel and Ron Christie featured, as well as a compilation of some of the show's highlights over the years.

Regular contributors to the programme included Ron Christie,[14] a Republican strategist who served as a former adviser to George W. Bush, BBC North America editor and relief presenter Jon Sopel, and political correspondents Rajini Vaidyanathan (Washington), Adam Fleming and Iain Watson (Westminster).
