Started off alright then I zoned out. There seems to be an effort to leave party lines at home which removes all the tension that made it interesting: who wants to watch an informal chat amongst people who work in barely related areas? It's like watching the last six people at a work conference night out without the alcohol.

I thought last night's show was the worst I've ever seen and I may well give up on QT now. It's rubbish.
The recent penchant for self important American guests is bizarre - OK "because election" but why choose these yappy American women who witter on randomly and are just an annoying noise.
Speaking of noise; Fiona Bruce. Interrupts constantly, usually with another question that just sidetracks things. She's hopeless.

Bring it back once we can have a live audience again - at least the nutjobs in the traditional format made the show entertaining - remember the Laurence Fox exchange with a loony woman; now that was worth watching.
Oh, and get rid of Fiona Bruce.

I thought Hannah Fry was extremely gracious with how she handled Fiona Bruce's inept interruptions: personally I would've said something like "I was talking about the point, I don't need reminding of it just because you're too thick to understand that".

Brillo was on Daily Politics yesterday and had a proper go at the SNP bloke.

Hannah Fry is a wonderful woman. She’s pure class.

I only caught 5 minutes of it but was frustrated by the questions of one of the audience members, a bearded media luvvie whom works in the arts don't you know. Had a lot to say for himself as if he speaks for everyone in the UK.

Yes, she did a joke about Greta on The Last Leg that seemed to offend many.

That's her (only) stock-in-trade though, isn't it?
