The program featured a series of conversations that explored beliefs and morals, sometimes of a religious nature. Charles Templeton featured segments on Moral Re-Armament and Malcolm Boyd, a film producer who became an Episcopal clergyman. Other topics included French Canadian culture, the potential for a Canadian motion picture industry, the National Hockey League, and suicide.[1]

NHL referee Red Story, an interview subject on Question Mark, later complained that his statements were omitted from the broadcast to such an extent as to provide a distorted impression of his employers.[2]
