Depressing moment struggling Studio 10 reveals its live audience is in fact ‘bus loads’ of elderly guests: ‘Who else has anything better to do?’
Studio 10 has revealed that its live studio audience consists of mainly elderly patrons.
Cameras caught sight of a tiny group of startled old folks last month when cabaret performer Hans appeared as a guest on the struggling morning show.
Pictures of the small Studio 10 audience have now turned up on TV industry blog Media Spy, and insiders were quick to slam the show’s producers.
‘Is the studio audience on this show made up of people from a weekly excursion out of a retirement village?’ one viewer sneered.
Another viewer replied, sarcastically: ‘Well, who else has nothing better to do?’

Meanwhile, another blogger revealed what appeared to be insider knowledge of the grim reality that is a part of daytime television.
‘It’s not unusual for studio audiences to be filled with people from a Retirement Villiage. Either that or it’s School Kids or Uni/ TAFE Students.’
Meanwhile, it is clear that the crowd in the studio numbers less than 25 people.

The embattled program has been hemorrhaging viewers by the tens of thousands following departure of host Sarah Harris this year, leading industry spies to question how long it will last on the air.
In April, the show’s ratings plummeted to the lowest in its decade-long history, reaching a shocking average of just 10,000 viewers in the five-city metro, The Australian reports.
However, a Network 10 spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia on Monday that Studio 10 isn’t going anywhere.
‘Studio 10 is a staple in our daytime program schedule boasting fun, entertaining and engaging content led by a fantastic panel,’ the spokesperson said.
