I was a regular viewer of QT. No longer, it has been plumbing the depths for a few years now, if Andrew Neil, Paxman or similar hosted it, it would attract me back. As it is, it's heavily politically loaded dice.

I think that it has not been the same since it was last presented by the late Sir Robin Day. His incisive and non-deferential manner combined well with his extensive experience as a journalist and as an interviewer of some of the top politicians of his time. It would be nice if a female replacement of his calibre could be found for the show but for me it would maybe take someone like Betty Boothroyd who was a former Speaker of the House of Commons.

Why not, just think of all the boxes she ticks for the BBC, including that she’d be N B G at the job.....

Surely Fyfe Robertson would be much better. Or was it Annette Mills?

I'd like to see Nigel Farage host QT in the interests of balance.It was disgraceful the way
BBCs hand picked leftie audience and panel ganged up on him when he appeared as a guest.lt didn't seem to bother him though,he came through it with his usual eloquence.
I thought he was very impressive on his LBC talk show.
