Andrew Marr has made a brief return to interrogating politicians on his Sunday morning BBC TV show, six months after suffering a stroke.
In his first on-air interview since his illness, the Glasgow-born journalist talked to former Labour MP David Miliband.
Mr Marr, 53, appeared as a guest on the flagship politics show in April, when he described the moment he tore his carotid artery while exercising and later woke up unable to move.
Since then, his eponymous programme has been hosted by a succession of different BBC broadcasters.
Marr yesterday revealed he will return to TV full-time in September, in time for the annual party conference season. He said: "I've really enjoyed getting stuck back into the day job – it was fantastic to be back interviewing and I'm looking forward to returning to work on a more regular basis."
Labour's shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said it was "really good" that Marr was back, while Conservative former Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillian described his appearance on the show as brilliant.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
