Sky After Dark – or SAD for short – is bringing back it's controversial political program Outsiders, would you believe?

Sky TV’s problem child is back next Sunday!

Lowlights of the low-rating show include:

- Dropped after it’s very first episode, returns a year later

- Mark Latham attacked Sky News colleagues, made homophobic remarks about a school boy, sacked by Sky.

- Show has an ’11 day recess’ after Latham sacking

- Outsiders forced to apologise to Senator Sarah Hanson-Young after comments made by Senator David Leyonhjelm about her in an interview.

- Sky suspends the show’s producer.

And despite all this...

Next week it’s back with yet another revamped line-up of hosts - Rita Panahi, Rowan Dean & ex-NYC James Morrow, opinion editor at Daily Telegraph, who describes himself as ‘the Prick With a Fork’.
James appears to keep true to that description.

Rita Panahi described the opportunity to join Outsiders as ‘too good to pass up’.

I guess Rita doesn’t get offered too many ‘opportunities’ because if she considers this a ‘good’ opportunity then her bar is pretty bloody low!

How long will Outsiders last before a host or a producer gets sacked or the show gets canned altogether?
