Format
Each day, the show debated three topical issues with each of the three guest presenters adopting an opinionated point of view on the topic. The studio audience were invited to press a handset to indicate their level of approval for each presenter's stance in the debate which appeared as an on-screen graphic with a "sausage" indicating the support for each guest's point of view. A panel of "Skypers" using web cams appeared on a video wall providing their points of view to add to that of the panel. Audience members and additional guests were also sometimes invited to add to the debate. The three presenters initially sat at a desk but then moved to a more informal sofa area for the next topic and alternate between the two sets.
