"Interview" Andrew Denton "Not Quite Enough Rope"

   Andrew Denton has returned to our TV screens on free to air (albeit commercial) television and like many British shows and others that have tried the leap from the ABC, it suffers for me thanks to the Ad breaks. "Everyone has a story and everyone's story is worth hearing!"
   I still claim Andrew stole this from me after a chat in the studio years ago at "Enough Rope" where he sought to interview captivating well known people but also 'ordinary people' whose stories we might never have caught...
   "Interview" uses the quirky designer chair/colour to link the different stories and simplify promotion. Andrew intermingles the famous with everyday people and their vocations, offering long form stories they hope will resonate and rate!!
   Tuesday at 8.45pm-ish is a weird time slot and for me the Ad breaks only serve to highlight the percentage of guests who do have a new book or record to flog... something he avoided more effectively on the ABC. It's still great and the questions and time allow people to get comfortable and share more deeply!! It's not quite 'Enough Rope!!'
