I would have thought both the hard and soft interview shows you suggest would also have been fairly cheap to produce. Biggest cost would appear to be a decent crew of researchers to give the interviewer ammo...

The online discussion is a concern - surely a new TV channel should be getting their core business sorted first. Online chat would appear to have the potential to hoover staff time like a black hole.

Oh, and that was a rather precious comment from RB. Why are people sensitive about being seen with others of different political views? The farce over Key & Iti at Waitangi, Clark & Glenn at UoA... just a joke!

I generally don't mind being slagged off by you Russell, because you are often incisive in your field of expertise, but I did correctly identified the other party based on my observation. So, don't be so precious, basically.

And yes, that was Craig you met. But I fear you mistake simple courtesy for something else. Don't be such a bitch, basically.

From his manner and deferential tone he could have been Russell's valet or something - like they may have some sort of working relationship. Like he was telling him his golf clubs would be clean and in the Land Rover after his luncheon appointment. And I just thought: Craig Ranapia. Don't know why.

Well someone at The Standard did cal Craig an "Uncle Tom" a little while ago, perhaps that sowed the seed....
