Hamish MacDonald kicks major goals on Q&A


I was sad to learn Tony Jones was leaving Q&A at the end of 2019, I was more sad to learn Hamish MacDonald was taking over. However three episodes in, Hamish is literally slaying it.

Episode one covering the bushfire crisis was one of the best ever episodes I had seen. Last night having rogue trader Jacqui Lambie on, proved he could control even the most rogue guests.

In other ABC news, David Speers is also killing it on Insiders. Landing some big interviews to kick off 2020, whilst coming in at number 15 on the ratings for this Sunday's shows.

Getting close to 300,000 viewers at 9am on a Sunday morning (who knows how many more on iView) Speers is definitely proving to be a terrific replacement for the original long standing host Barrie Cassidy.

ABC is also kicking off Australian drama for 2020 in style. Stateless starts early next month, it honestly looks outstanding. Thank god for the ABC.

Here is a first look at the six part series.
