Format
Each day, the show debates three topical issues with each of the three guest presenters adopting an opinionated point of view on the topic. The studio audience are invited to press a handset to indicate their level of approval for each presenter's stance in the debate which appears 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 appear on a video wall providing their points of view to add to that of the panel. Audience members and additional guests are also sometimes invited to add to the debate. The three presenters initially sit at a desk but then move to a more informal sofa area for the next topic and alternate between the two sets.
The show was filmed at The Hospital Club Studios, part of an entertainment complex and club in Covent Garden, in Central London.
