It needs to be a single caller putting a question and the presenter getting the interviewee to answer, not the Liz on line 1, and Alex on line 2 having an on air shouting match as phone ins have become.
If they could run TV packages but crafted to work for radio as well, and have all their guests visualised like they've been doing for Campbell, there's no reason that something like 5 live Drive or PM couldn't work well on TV.
Even better, a new programme (maybe one hour long) which is a long interview with a key figure where the public can put questions to them, would work very well.
