 Although intended to draw attention to the considerable variety of original programming on BBC2, "Line-Up" was perceived as little more than a self-promotion exercise by the newspapers and the viewing public alike.Later in the same year, it was decided that "Line-Up" be replaced by something of a similar intention but with a more intellectual edge.Instead of a guided tour of BBC2's output, the new programme would be an open and candid discussion among invited guests, transmitted live after the 9.00 p.m. watershed.
