Q&A was a quite interesting show when it first started out. Imagine then inviting John Elliott onto Q&A now, he was fairly regular. He would just tell the 'wankers' to go get stuffed. Then it slowly became totally boring, same-sex marriage and refugees, over and over and over, week after week after week. It's never improved. As much as I couldn't stand Tony Jones, at least he could get some reaction out of me when I felt like throwing something at the TV. The current bloke, Hamish McDonald, can't even get annoyed by him he's so predictable and bland.

If I was tasked with fixing Q&A I go back over all the very old episodes and pick the most entertaining characters to be a rotating semi-permanent panel. A panel with characters like John Elliott (after a dozen schooners of Fosters) and a now politically incorrect Germane Greer, etc... Now THAT would be entertaining.
