Long-running BBC review programme the Film Show is set to be replaced as the broadcaster looks into a different format for movie criticism.

A new show for cinema news and reviews is being explored by the BBC, as the corporation changes its approach to arts coverage.

Film 2018 will be the final instalment of the show, which first aired in 1971 and made use of a host of presenters.

Barry Norman hosted the show for 26 years, followed by Jonathan Ross for 11, before Claudia Winkleman took over for a six-year stint.

Since then the insights into the world of cinema have been presented by various famous faces including Zoe Ball and Charlie Brooker.
