Open Air was BBC1's flagship programme for their new daytime service which began on 27 October 1986.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/genome/entries/5434a4f5-04bc-4df1-8b4b-b6603e37cbb6 BBC Genome Blog - When BBC daytime television fully arrived]

The programme was an on-air discussion forum for viewers to phone in their comments on the previous night's television. The series covered all television channels and would have programme makers and television management explaining their actions. Open Air also included features about current television and discussed all aspects of television. It also tried to answer viewers' questions. Unlike similar programmes Right to Reply and Points of View, Open Air was transmitted live each weekday morning.
