'Which to repeat the only real question, what was the real motivation, the secondary gain of the ABC's producers when they slotted Miriam Mangolyes for that Q&A circus?'

probably the same as giving Singer a plug for bestiality otb.

"No, the producers of Q&A were the ones who quite deliberately and coldly typecast her by setting her up for that inappropriate gig."

What a load of old codswallop passes for discussion on this forum.

otb...do you do a song and dance act every time a comedy act or writer turns up on Q&A?

Qu: - What's an "inappropriate gig"?

Ans: - Anything that gets up otb's nose.

LOL, it can't always be about your sequinned, pear-shaped self, Poirot.

Miriam Margolyes has the limelight and no, you cannot share it.

BTW, when are you going to threaten another of your walk-outs to star on Twitter?

BTT

I have always found actors & actresses are rather thick people, when not spouting words produced by someone somewhat brighter.

I recently saw Harrison Ford being interviewed on an American chat show, & was very disappointed to find he is as thick as a boot. I guess it was rather naïve of me to expect him to be anything like some of the characters he has played.

It is equally disappointing to find that most of the current crop of Australian actors & actresses particularly, are as thick as 2 boots when speaking their own thoughts. The fact that they can spout someone else's words, in an interesting way, when guided in their presentation by a good director, is no indication they have a solid thought in their pretty heads.

In fact it may be the case that the emptier the head, the easier it is to direct the actor. Why anyone would be interested in their personal thoughts eludes me completely

I see this thread still contains all the usual guys who are jealous no one wants to hear their own judgemental views on Q&A!

Runner brings up his second most popular subject on OLO that never has anything to do with the subject matter, but he likes the sound of it.

Miriam did a great job and is a highly intelligent woman, something that obviously threatens some blokes.

I look forward to tomorrow night's Q&A, and I'm sure all the ABC haters on this forum will avoid it of course......

So sorry, otb....have I interrupted your latest tilt at hysterically critiquing your chosen female?

I know how much you enjoy such flights of fancy.

Don't recall you being so scathing of that dreadful leftie, Ben Elton - and he was much more energetic in his panning of the great Tones.

But he's a bloke - and we all know you save your most passionate denunciations for the ladies.
