Click (previously Click Online) is a weekly BBC television programme covering news and recent developments in the world of consumer technology, presented by Spencer Kelly.
There are five editions of the programme, including two 30-minute programmes: the first is produced for a UK audience and shown on BBC News and BBC TWO, the second is produced for a global audience, aired on BBC World News, usually identical with a commercial break in the middle. The 15-minute version is shown on BBC One and BBC News during BBC Breakfast (at the weekend). The fourth edition runs for 5 minutes on BBC World News at selected times of the week featuring one story. The fifth goes out on BBC TWO on Monday morning at 10:35am.
Thursday 29 December 2005 marked the last edition of Click Online, as the show was previously known. This coincided with the departure of presenter Stephen Cole after 295 shows. The programme was rebranded with new music and titles and now concentrates more on consumer issues, and not necessarily the internet or what users can do or visit "online".
The 12 March 2016 programme was broadcast in 360-degrees, and is the first entire episode of a TV programme to be broadcast thus.
BBC World Service broadcasts a weekly sister radio show, also called Click, presented by Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson.
The current presenter of Click is Spencer Kelly who had already been a reporter and producer on the show, and also compiled reports for The Gadget Show on Channel 5. Kate Russell introduces featured websites in the weekly Webscape segment. Other reporters include Dan Simmons and Lara Lewington.
