What do you do when a programme is cancelled?

We reported briefly at the weekend about the cancellation of Any Questions (and, as a consequence, of Any Answers).

Paul, perhaps you could whisper into Blog's ears that if the one universe doesn't turn up any Any ?'s, then it shouldn't pull its tentacles out coz the guys of the fancy equations tell us that there could a whole load more bouncing about. Whatever happens, it looks like the Any's are here ad infinitum.
