Question Time this week comes from Stevenage, which is twinned with Shymkent in Kazakhstan, and location of The Pied Piper which is the only pub in the world to be opened by Her Majesty the Queen. Stevenage is represented for Labour by Daphne Barbara Follett, who is standing down at this election after overclaiming the highest amount of expenses of any MP in the country.
On the panel is ex-postman and soon to be ex-Home Secretary Alan Johnson, shadow Business Secretary Ken Clarke, broadcaster Richard Littlejohn and poker-playing Grauniad columnist Victoria Coren.
For those who wish to take part in the Biased-BBC Buzzword Bingo, we will be playing by the “April Fool Rules” meaning that anyone with enthusiastic references to “Capitalism“, “Thatcher” and “Ashcroft” on a diagonal line will be disqualified for watching a spoof show.
Once again TheEye and David Mosque will be scanning the small text for dodgy Labour statistics, and we look forward to the pleasure of your company at 10:30pm UK time.
I won’t be watching. I never do. A discussion programme on the same downmarket channel as Eastenders, Casualty, Flog It and Celebrity Cash in the Attic and presumably aimed at the at the same type of utter moron who watches such trash?
No thanks.
Why does the government ensure the financing of such rubbish?
Ken Clarke will be interesting, the Labour nobody will get the embarrassing roasting she deserves, but what the hell is Littlejohn doing in the country away from his home in Florida, and what is he doing on tv?! The BBC truely has lost it
Please don’t be too brutal on VC, you pitiless animals. I think she must have been drunk when she agreed to do QT. I doubt you could describe her as ‘Labour’. I don’t think she’s very political.
As one of the moderators of the chat, I’d like to make it clear that I like Vicky Coren (and not just for her poker skills) and will not tolerate any ungentlemanly or ungallant comments.
Question for Victoria Coren
You have AK and 10,000 chips, One of the other players goes all in for 500 chips. Do you call or fold?
Answer: Fold. AK is the New Labour of poker hands. It looks pretty but it will cost you all your money
Well I could happily slap Ms Coren unconscious. Irritating bitch from a family of self-regarding cunts. Joanna Lumley and all her fans can fuck off too (God QT is shit)
Vicky Coren. Horrific to listen to but well worth a good seeing to!
I liked Alan Coren. Not a bad editor of Punch ? – and the only centre-right person ever on NewsQuiz
I liked
Liked? Has he gone boots up then? That would explain why I haven’t seen him for while.
He died about 18 months ago :

Victoria Coren, self-anointed ‘satirist’.
‘Gordon Brown is a man of high principle’.
Victoria, dear, what planet have you been living on?
Not this one, for sure.
Victoria “Get Yer Tits Out” Coren is a “satirist.” (Satyrist-enabler shurley, Ed.)?
Anyone remember the old days when “satirists” actually MADE FUN of those in POWER and RUNNING the frackin’ country.
Anyone is a satirist now it seems – just look at the news coverage of the Daily Mail. The paper is awash with people that would rather use satire than report factual news
