Tonight Question Time comes from King’s Lynn (Coat of Arms Motto: “I can’t read or write, but I can drive a tractor”). The arrival of the BBC moving-picture machine demoncraft has been reported widely in the local newspaper – which is published fortnightly to warn the locals of upcoming full moons, new roads and immigrants, as well as providing the timetables for witch burning.
On the panel: Universities Minister David “Two Brains” Willetts and the world’s most unsuccessful bulimic John Prescott. To be fair it’s been at least 2 or 3 weeks since the leader of the Green Party Caroline Lucas has added her lentil knitting stupidity to Question Time so the BBC have decided that she’s due another shot tonight. The painfully unamusing”comedian” Griff Rhys Jones (whose appearance screams out for an urgent phone order to Slick Mario’s Quick Lime, Tin Bath and Shovel Emporium) rounds off the panel alongside Sunday Times columnist Minette Marrin.
B-BBC is delighted to offer a free Martin Clunes posable action figure for anyone brave enough to stay up for This Week*
There’s a short video by advertising executive Sir Martin Sorrell complaining about red tape strangling growth who will then debate it with Michael Portillo and Alan Johnson.
The Guardian’s Nick Watt will join a This Week torch relay as an embarrassing dressing up exercise for the political stories of the week review slot and then …well… Kerry Katona to talk about how she used to get whacked out of her head on cocaine but is better now. Maybe they’ll show some of her old “glamour” photos too? Hopefully not.

I wonder if questions about windmills will arise.
At the last General Election the Greens came sixth in North-West Norfolk, attracting a total of 745 votes. All of whom will be in the audience.
Likewise they always have a tory on when the programme comes from Scotland…by that rationale they should have yogurt-weaver on every week!
Although admittedly it’s not quite as outlandish as the time they had a Plaid Cymru person on the panel when it came from Great Yarmouth
Perhaps there’s a large Welsh ‘community’ in Yarmouth that I’m not aware of. 🙂
Lefty twat Burnham (on The Daily Politics) and loony Lord Oakshott (on Newsnight) accused their Tory opponents of being ‘right wing’ (despite no obvious evidence cos these Tories are wetter than a wet day in April). Lets see how often fatty Prescott gets it in.
Giant hamster chops Prescott, Hull’s fattest deep sea diver and Man from Atlantis gone hideously wrong, had obviously been playing his favourite Gary Glitter songs before going on QuestionableTime. The pie stuffing oaf kept on saying “come on, come on” all the time.
Yeah, it was really cool, man.
Perhaps they will discuss this latest achievement – ‘Migration to UK more than double government target’ (BBC website).
Oddly it does not read ‘Government fails dismally to meet migration target.’
Thanks for the snide comments about King’s Lynn, it certainly does not live up to your perception, having been turned into a clone of everywhere else since invasion of overspill londoners in 60s,2 home London commuters and
easterm europeans thanks to our bien-pensant civic leaders who allegedly represent us.
Watch out for question on the King’s Lynn incinerator – the only local issue at present – zzzzzzzzzz
Just worked out how to be Bof rather than Yahoo_user…….
We’re soo slow in Lynn 🙂
A local, eh? Okay, I’ll type this slowly so that you can follow along 🙂
Actually; nice one Bof. I make snarky comments about every town and most of the panellists each week. There’s usually a ‘bite’ on each thread but you did it in a witty way and I doff my hat to you.
Well played.
