Men’s Hour will return to BBC Radio 5 Live next year for a longer run following a trial series in July. The men’s version of the hugely successful and long-running Women’s Hour, of BBC Radio Four, was commissioned for a short run in July to test the waters. It premiered with mixed reviews and was hosted by Tim Samuels with guests such as Andy McNab and Louie Spence. 

Men’s Hour will return for a Christmas Special and then will be back for at least three months on BBC Radio Five Live next year. However, the magazine programme is likely to move out of its Sunday slot following a revamp of the 5 Live schedules. Men’s Hour will return in a new slot from Spring 2011.
