The Five on Ten?

Dr Mumbo reckons its worth an outside bet that Ten’s new morning panel show, featuring Ita Buttrose and helmed by executive producer Rob McKnight, is going to be called The Five.

The Five is a daytime talk show in the US on the Fox News Channel which launched about two years ago. It features a rotating panel of contributors talking about pop culture and current affairs.

According to Wikipedia: “The show is made up of six blocks. Each of the first five blocks is introduced, closed and loosely moderated by a different co-host. The co-host’s block may be on a single topic or multiple topics. The final block is a wrap-up segment wherein various topics are quickly visited.”

The reason Dr Mumbo suspects that The Five could be the show – or its working title – could be no more than a social media coincidence, but an interesting one nonetheless.
