One Plus One

This show is so underrated. Wish it had been given some more attention. Jane Hutcheon was so underrated when she hosted this from the studio. Barry Cassidy’s brief time as host earlier this year in a different format was okay. Now Kurt Fearnley as host - which i quite like.

Glad that One Plus One is returning. New timeslot by the looks of it. Was on Thursdays earlier this year. Now at a more prominent timeslot of Monday’s at 7.30.

Will this show now be a 6-part series with a different host? First, it was with Barrie Cassidy, then Kurt Fearnley and now Stan Grant. Good idea. Changed a little since Jane H left last year

This is a six-part series hosted by Stan Grant. It was originally an ABC News show, then moved to ABC main channel on Thursdays.
