  1. How much longer can Studio 10 really go on for with numbers like that? It’s like Ch10 don’t ever want to try anymore…

    However what could go in its place?

  2. Q&A is unwatchable these days, an hour on feminism last night was not what I was interested in. Combine that with the silly move to transfer the show from Monday to Thursday nights, and the ABC continuing their love affair with Mr Know it all Stan Grant, and you can see why the ratings are so mediocre! It might be time to rest the entire format for a year or two!

  3. Q&A use to be so good. I think extreme political correctness has killed the show. I use to love the unfiltered tweets, the shoe throwing etc. Could not be bothered watching it. Stan is a polished host but never seems to be able to ask a question without having an opinion as well. He would make a great guest but a little too in your face as a host. The show use to be a rough diamond but now unwatchable.

    1. I also think it’s blowback fron Stan Grant or his producer ejecting the Russian audience member ,this is a democracy but only when it suits certain situations ,free speech no matter the subject matter should not be censored ,he is suppose to be a journalist it has showed he’s clearly out of his depth.

      1. Yes Grant needs to go, just looked it up on iview. There two post name both sides, one is the question by Sasha 3mins the other is the rest of the program. Seems fair boths sides of the argument,Not.
