Q+A is a New Zealand current event and political talkshow.[1] It is hosted by Paul Holmes, with interviews conducted by Guyon Espiner and expert analysis with Therese Arseneau. The show airs live from the TVNZ Centre on Sundays from 9 to 10am on TV ONE, and reshows later that day from 9:10pm to 10:00pm on TVNZ 7.
Q+A premiered on the 22 March 2009 as a replacement for Agenda. Following the death of Holmes' mother, Mark Sainsbury filled-in for one week.[2]
The programme starts off every week with a "week that was" style run-through of the main political events that week. Holmes will then introduce the panel (usually made up of Arseneau and a political observer and a former politician) Following that Espiner will conduct an interview with a politician (either in the studio or on location) and Holmes will lead the panel through a discussion about the responses the interviewee gave. After an ad break Holmes will conduct a more relaxed interview with a former politician or political observer, with Holmes again leading the panel through discussing what will be the big stories in the week ahead finishing the show.
