Andrew Marr to interview Tony Blair

The BBC has secured the first major political interview with Tony Blair since the year he stood down as Prime Minister.

Andrew Marr will conduct the exclusive one-hour interview with the former PM which will run on BBC Two on Wednesday 1 September at 7pm.

Andrew says: “Having the chance to speak to the former PM for an hour is a remarkable opportunity to learn more about what he was trying to achieve in office and how with hindsight he now regards his record.”

This will be the BBC’s first major retrospective interview about Blair’s time in Number 10 since 2007 and will coincide with the launch of his memoirs.
