Rte's second longest running programme, 'Questions and Answers', presented by Dr. John Bowman is to cease broadcast at the end of its current season in June. The broadcaster and historian has now been contracted by Rte to write a history of Rte television to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of Telefis Eireann in December 1961. He will also present a series of documentaries on television's impact on modern Ireland and act as consulting editor in other initiatives being considered to mark this anniversary. Speaking of his years with the programme and future projects John commented: "When I was initially persuaded to take on 'Questions and Answers' in 1988 for one season, I never envisaged that it would enjoy such a prolonged run.
