Items on quite strange TV show (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

question time

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tv show' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'items on quite strange' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'items'+'on'+'quite'='itemsonquite'
'itemsonquite' anagrammed gives 'QUESTION TIME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for question time that I've seen is " Parliamentary occasion".)
