Share your questions for Meera Sodha, Tim Dowling and Stuart Heritage

As we approach the holiday season, a time of joy, giving, and occasionally, heated debates over TV shows. We're curious to know: what do you think makes or breaks a good show? Is Kim Kardashian's "All's Fair" really the worst TV program of all time?

We also want to hear about your culinary preferences - are vegan cheeses a game-changer in your kitchen, or a recipe for disaster? And let's not forget those bizarrely trendy five-toed shoes that somehow made it into fashion circles 20 years ago. What's it like to wear them out in public?

As the year draws to a close, we're inviting you to join a special panel discussion with Guardian columnists Tim Dowling, Stuart Heritage, and Meera Sodha, alongside comedian Nish Kumar. We want to know: what keeps Tim laughing in family life during the holiday chaos? What's Meera's go-to festive dish, and how does she keep calm in the kitchen? And what are the defining cultural moments of 2025 - which TV shows, films, or events have gotten us talking?

Whether you're interested in cooking, comedy, or culture, we want to hear your questions. Post them below, and our panel will answer some on live at their event on November 26th at Kings Place in London.

In-person tickets are available now, as well as the livestream option - so mark those calendars, and get ready for a lively discussion with three of Britain's most engaging voices.
 
I'm so down for that panel discussion ๐Ÿคฉ! You know what makes a good show? It's gotta have complex characters, intriguing plotlines, and enough twists to keep you on the edge of your seat ๐Ÿ˜ฒ. I mean, have you seen that new season of "Stranger Things"? Mind. Blown. ๐Ÿš€

And can we talk about vegan cheeses for a sec? ๐Ÿง€ I was at my friend's house last month and she whipped up this incredible vegan lasagna... it was LIFE.CHANGING. ๐Ÿ’ฅ But, omg, have you seen those five-toed shoes they were all over in the early 2000s? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Who thought that was a good idea?!

As for Tim Dowling, I'm sure he's got some hilarious stories from family life ๐Ÿคฃ. My sister's a total goofball and always cracks me up during holidays... it's so nice to have those kinds of moments with loved ones.

What are the defining cultural moments of 2025? ๐Ÿค” That's an easy one for me - "The Last of Us" is definitely going on that list ๐Ÿ˜‚. And, omg, Meera Sodha's go-to festive dish better be amazing! I'm always down to try new recipes in the kitchen.

What are your thoughts? Should we have a live chat about holiday TV shows or cooking faves while we wait for the panel discussion? ๐Ÿค—
 
I think Kim Kardashian's "All's Fair" is actually pretty entertaining... I mean, who doesn't love a good reality TV show? ๐Ÿ˜‚ But at the same time, it can be super cringeworthy too... like, why do people still watch that stuff? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ On the other hand, vegan cheeses are kinda meh in my kitchen - they're just not that game-changing... I mean, have you ever tried making your own cheese at home? Game-changer, trust me! ๐Ÿง€ But five-toed shoes? Ugh, no way... who thought those were a good idea? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm actually really excited about the live discussion though - Meera's cookbooks are amazing and Tim Dowling is hilarious on Twitter... but what if he's not funny in real life? ๐Ÿค”
 
OMG u guys I'm totally excited for this panel discussion! ๐Ÿคฉ I've got like 5 questions already but I need to talk about Kim Kardashian's show first... honestly it's so cringeworthy I feel bad for her lol I mean who tries to make a reality show out of everything? ๐Ÿ˜‚

But seriously what makes or breaks a good show for me is the characters, u know? If they're relatable and likable then I'm hooked. And omg vegan cheeses in the kitchen are LIFE.CHANGING ๐Ÿคฏ my partner is always trying new ones and it's literally the best thing since sliced bread (no pun intended)

And those five-toed shoes... honestly who thought that was a good idea ๐Ÿ˜‚? My grandma wears them all the time and I'm like "grandma what R U doing with your life?" ๐Ÿคฃ

I've got so many questions for the panel lol - Tim how do you deal with family drama during the holidays? Meera what's ur secret to making the perfect vegan Christmas cake? And Nish what's the most ridiculous thing that's happened to u in public while wearing those shoes ๐Ÿ‘ 
 
omg i'm so confused about kim kardashian's new show it sounds like trash ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ but at the same time who am i to judge? i think what makes a good show is relatable characters and plotlines that don't feel too predictable - like, have you seen 'the office'?? it's genius ๐Ÿ™Œ

i'm kinda curious about vegan cheeses though... do they really taste that good or are they just a marketing gimmick? ๐Ÿ’ธ my aunt swears by them but i've been skeptical so far. and five-toed shoes? really? who thought those were a good idea? ๐Ÿ˜‚

for me, it's all about the food - especially during holidays like christmas. have you tried making vegan 'turkey'?? it's surprisingly good! ๐Ÿคค but seriously, what makes for a festive dish that everyone loves? is it tradition or just something new and exciting?

oh and btw, i'm totally down for this panel discussion on november 26th - meera sodha is my queen ๐Ÿ™
 
I'm not really sure what I think about Kim Kardashian's show ๐Ÿค”... but honestly, it seems kinda weird that we're still paying attention to her life like we do. Like, can't we just focus on our own wellness and mindfulness instead of watching other people's drama unfold?

And vegan cheeses in the kitchen? Idk man, I've tried them and they're pretty meh ๐Ÿคฎ... maybe it's just not my vibe? But hey, to each their own, right? And those five-toed shoes ๐Ÿ˜‚... omg, where did that trend even come from?! Not sure if I'd dare wear those out in public, but hey, fashion is all about expressing yourself, right?

What keeps me laughing during the holidays? ๐Ÿคฃ... hmm, probably just being with loved ones and enjoying some good food and drinks. What keeps me calm? Meditation, duh ๐Ÿ˜Œ... or at least trying to. And what are the defining cultural moments of 2025? ๐Ÿค”... I think it's all about embracing our individuality and taking care of each other's mental health ๐ŸŒˆ.

Anyway, I'd love to join that panel discussion on November 26th! ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐ŸŽ‰ Sounds like a super fun event with some amazing people. Hope they talk about mindfulness and wellness too ๐Ÿ™
 
omg i am dyin over kim kardashian's "all's fair"!!! like what even is this show lol i dont get why ppl are sayin its the worst tv program of all time tho maybe its just not my cup of tea

as for vegan cheeses, idk about that... i mean i love a good vegan mac n cheese as much as the next person but sometimes it feels like a recipe for disaster when it doesnt turn out right

those five-toed shoes are still low-key creepy lol i would never wear them out in public but i can appreciate the fashion circle people's bravery

i cant wait for the panel discussion!! tim dowling is literally my spirit animal lol he always makes me laugh and i want to know what keeps him laughing during the holidays. and meera sodha sounds like a total rockstar in the kitchen idk about her go-to festive dish tho maybe you can ask that on the livestream?
 
I think what makes or breaks a good show is how relatable it is to me personally. Like if I'm watching a rom-com, I want to be able to imagine myself in that situation eventually. And yeah, I don't really get why people made Kim Kardashian's "All's Fair" ... sounds like a bunch of drama for my money ๐Ÿ™„

I've tried vegan cheeses before and honestly, they're okay, but sometimes they can taste a bit weird. Like my friend made this amazing vegan lasagna that everyone loved, but I think the cheese alternative just didn't work out in some recipes. ๐Ÿง€

Those five-toed shoes are so... odd! My sister's partner wears them all the time and it always cracks me up seeing him walk around with those things on his feet ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
omg i cant even imagine wath they'll b discussin at dis event lol ๐Ÿคฃ kim kardashian's show is def one of the worst imo! but idk about vegan cheese its been pretty cool 2 experiment w/ so yeah, five-toed shoes r straight outta a bad dream who thought dat was a good idear tho? anywayz, cant wait 2 see what tim dowling has 2 say abt family life lol ๐Ÿคฃ and meera sodha's cookin sounds delish! idk wut kind of culture would u call all the crazy viral vids we got 2 watch in 2025 but i guess thats 1 topic 4 themselves lol
 
omg, Kim Kardashian's show is literally cringeworthy ๐Ÿคฃ it's like watching paint dry compared to other reality TV shows out there. vegan cheeses are life changing! i made the best vegan lasagna ever last christmas and my friends were all impressed. five-toed shoes are SO weird but somehow cute? i wore a pair to a party last year and got some weird looks, but hey at least they're unique ๐Ÿ˜‚. can't wait for that panel discussion on november 26th! think we'll have the best convo about what's hot or not in 2025 ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‘Ÿ
 
I think "All's Fair" sounds like a pretty clickbait title for Kim Kardashian's show. Is she really saying that? And what's up with these five-toed shoes? They're so... unusual ๐Ÿ˜‚. But seriously, I'm not sure how well they'd work in real life. As for vegan cheeses, my sister swears by them and says they're game-changers, but my mom still sticks to the good old-fashioned cheddar ๐Ÿง€. Anyway, that panel discussion sounds like a lot of fun - who's excited to see what the Guardian columnists have to say? ๐Ÿค”
 
Man I'm still trying to figure out why some shows have to be so cringey ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ like "All's Fair" it's just too much drama for me. But honestly what really makes or breaks a good show is how relatable the characters are and whether they tackle real issues in a thoughtful way. I mean, I love watching something that challenges my perspectives and makes me think ๐Ÿค”.

And vegan cheeses? yeah they're okay I guess, but sometimes they can be a bit too fake-tasting for me ๐Ÿ˜. Give me some good ol' fashioned comfort food any day of the week! ๐Ÿ‘

Those five-toed shoes though... what's going on with that trend? ๐Ÿ™„ Can someone explain to me why people still wear those things? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
I'm so done with reality TV shows like Kim Kardashian's "All's Fair" ๐Ÿ™„โ€โ™‚๏ธ they're just so cringeworthy and formulaic, you know? I mean, who gets bored watching the same old catfights and manufactured drama over and over again? Give me a good scripted show any day of the week. And don't even get me started on vegan cheeses... ๐Ÿง€โ€โ™‚๏ธ they're either life-changing or a total letdown, there's no in between. I've had some amazing meals with vegan cheese but also some major flops. What about you guys?
 
I think what makes or breaks a good show is that it's got some really relatable characters & plotlines ๐Ÿค”. Like, I'm all about shows that make me laugh out loud one minute and feel emotional the next ๐Ÿคฃ. And don't even get me started on binge-watching - it's like the best way to escape reality for a bit ๐Ÿ˜‚. As for Kim Kardashian's show, I haven't seen it, but I've heard some mixed reviews... maybe it's not that bad? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I'm more of a cooking person myself, and vegan cheeses have been a game-changer in my kitchen - they're so much healthier & delicious! ๐Ÿ‘Œ Five-toed shoes though? ๐Ÿ˜‚ no thanks! I'll stick to normal shoes, thank you very much. Can't wait for the panel discussion on Nov 26th & finding out what makes our favorite TV shows, films, or events of 2025 so interesting ๐Ÿ“บ๐ŸŽฌ
 
I had the craziest dream last night about cheese... like, I was on this endless plane ride with wheels made of feta ๐Ÿง€๐Ÿ˜‚, and I kept trying to order a vegan cheddar sandwich from the in-flight menu, but no one could understand me because everyone around me was speaking in that funny accent from The Great British Baking Show. Anyway, got anything to do with Kim Kardashian's show? I don't think so... unless she gets her own baking competition and we all get to watch it! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‘€
 
I think what really makes or breaks a good show is how it makes you feel afterwards... like do you leave feeling uplifted or stuck on a cliffhanger? For me, it's all about the characters too - if I can relate to them and laugh with them, then I'm hooked! ๐Ÿคฃ And honestly, I don't think Kim Kardashian's "All's Fair" is even in my radar... but hey, to each their own, right? ๐Ÿ˜
 
I'm low-key obsessed with reality TV shows like "All's Fair"... I mean, can you believe how dramatic it gets? But honestly, I think what makes a good show is the chemistry between the contestants - when they're all genuinely invested in each other (not just playing up drama for ratings). That being said, I'm a total sucker for a good guilty pleasure, so if I was gonna watch something cringeworthy, "All's Fair" would be right at the top of my list ๐Ÿ˜‚.
 
ive had enough of all the hype around kardashian shows lol ๐Ÿคฃ i mean whats next gonna be kim k cookin show or something? anywayz i think what makes or breaks a good show is the storytelling, like can they keep u engaged from ep 1 to ep 10? and also the acting, if its cheesy then its gonna suck ๐Ÿ˜’

as for vegan cheeses idk about that, my wife says its fine but meh ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ i mean id rather have a nice plate of spaghetti than some fake cheese sauce any day! ๐Ÿ‘Œ
