Thank you!

That moment was actually my first glimpse of this awful, awful show (as I was waiting for Hot Seat). Gosh, that was uncomfortable. To paraphrase the late Kerry Packer… “get this s*t off the air!”

Would be good if there was a YouTube link – I can’t find any… (People must be sensible and not bothering uploading such rubbish )

And Katrina Blowers just sat there smiling like Mel during the entire thing!

I’m starting to like this show…

i think THISafternoon could actually be a good, enjoyable show if it was changed a bit. the chemistry is nowhere near up to tv standard there are so many awkward moments. i think it’s mainly because of daddo. he just sits there like an idiot rarely contributes to discussion and then as soon as he opens his mouth he interupts, cuts people off, contradicts, says something stupid, and then goes back into his shell. but katrina, mark, the reporter and the gossip girl are great.

They’re doing exactly what I said they would do and are attempting to make him look as silly and unprofessional as possible so he leaves Channel 9 as damaged goods with less credibility. But good on Mark for being able to see the game and rise above it. Looks like it’s backfired Nine…

I wonder if the show will last until October?

didn’t see the ep but going by your description sounds as if daddo was being very immature and unprofessional, but it sound as if Ferguson didn’t take the bait and was very professional about it going by what you have said.

Dearie me, Mr Daddo does seem to have been in a rather catty mood.

I feel sorry for Mark as he will have another 4 months of this until he leaves in October.

But then again – maybe that’ll make this rather bland afternoon show worth watching until then – if it lasts that long??

It was so funny. Excellent TV!

Go Daddo. He finally gets a decent TV role (eventhough THIS afternoon isn’t that great), and now the strongest presenter on that show is leaving. If THISafternoon is still around by October, they need to find a decent newsreader with an excellent personality, which Mark lacks.

Let’s hope this fued lasts until October. It’ll make great TV.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Nine News was the highest ratings news program by October?
