Question Time 29th April 2010


Question Time this week comes Birmingham and will be, after a delay for the 10 O’Clock News, broadcast straight after the BBC’s stab at the 3rd Leaders’ Debate. It will be broadcast live so that both the audience and panel are able to comment on it.

On the panel tonight are Schools Secretary Ed “Blinky” Balls, BBC favourite St. Vince “I’ve predicted 17 of the last 2 recessions” Cable, the SNP leader Alex “Not playing with the big boys tonight” Salmond and the broadcaster and journalist Janet Street Porter. Please do not adjust your sets….yes, that really is her voice. As of 6:30pm when I typed this, the identity of the Conservative had not been confirmed.

For those playing B-BBC Buzzword Bingo this week, we’ll be playing by the “Foot In Mouth Rules“, meaning that “bigots” are wild, and those playing “Israeli Organ Havesting“, “Nazi Salute” and “Fake Nurses” don’t have to resign and sit out the rest of the game but those with “Clause28” do.

TheEye and David Mosque will be maintaining a two-party race, so vote None Of The Above here just after 10:30pm.

The 3rd Leaders’ Debate LiveChat

Tonight will be a live-blogging double-bill, starting with the second Leaders’ Debate and rounding off with Question Time and This Week.

The Leaders’ Debate is a joint LiveBlog collaboration with a host of other splendid blogs; here on Biased-BBC, and on All Seeing Eye, Barking Spider, Corrugated Soundbite, Dick Puddlecote, Governmentitus, GrumpyOldTwat, Man Widdicombe, Subrosa and The Red Rag. Ten blogs, one livechat! If you haven’t tried some of those other blogs before then please do – their authors have all been part of the B-BBC Question Time chat before so you’ll be right at home.

Moderators for this part of the evening will be AllSeeingEye, David Mosque and QT chat regular Daniel1979.

Leaders’ Debate and QT Liveblogging Thur 29th

This Thursday evening again brings a double-bill of liveblogging…. 

“You lucky people”, as Tommy Trinder used to say.

First up at 8.30pm we will be live blogging the 3rd Leaders’ Debate which is being broadcast on the BBC between 8.30pm and 10:00pm. Rather like the last Debate chat this promises to be great fun as once again 10 blogs will all be hosting it simultaneously. Let’s see if Dimbleby will be as fair and balanced as he is on Question Time! Moderating again we’ll have David Mosque, AllSeeingEye and B-BBC QT-chat regular Daniel from Governmentitus.

This ‘chat’ collaboration will be between All Seeing Eye, Barking Spider, Biased-BBC, Corrugated Soundbite, Dick Puddlecote, Governmentitus, GrumpyOldTwat, Man Widdicombe, Subrosa and The Red Rag, – all excellent and highly recommended blogs. If you haven’t been to some of them before then please take this chance to try them out.

After a pause for breath we’ll be running our own regular chat for Question Time and This Week starting just before 10:45pm. Hopefully you can make both.

See you here on Thursday night!

Question Time 22nd April 2010


Question Time this week comes London, and will be broadcast live so that both the audience and panel are able to watch the prime ministerial debate earlier in the evening and comment on it. It’s not clear if they will have read any of our LiveBlog comments, which of course will put them at a disadvantage.

On the panel tonight are Work and Pensions Secretary Yvette Cooper, the Shadow Foreign Secretary William Hague, the former Liberal Democrat leader Ming Campbell, Plaid Cymru’s leader at Westminster Elfyn Llwyd and the Daily Mail journalist Dame Ann Leslie.

TheEye and David Mosque have resisted any surge by cheap-suited third-party Moderators, so vote early and vote often here at 10:30pm.

The 2nd Leaders’ Debate LiveChat

Tonight will be a live-blogging double-bill, starting with the second Leaders’ Debate and rounding off with Question Time and This Week.

The Leaders’ Debate is a joint LiveBlog collaboration with a host of other splendid blogs; here on Biased-BBC, and on All Seeing Eye, Barking Spider, Corrugated Soundbite, Dick Puddlecote, Governmentitus, GrumpyOldTwat, Man Widdicombe, Subrosa and ToryTottyOnline. Ten blogs, one livechat! If you haven’t tried some of those other blogs before then please do – their authors have all been part of the B-BBC Question Time chat before so you’ll be right at home.

Moderators for this part of the evening will be AllSeeingEye, David Mosque and QT chat regular Daniel1979.

Leaders’ Debate and QT Liveblogging Thur 22nd


This Thursday evening brings a double-bill of liveblogging…. 

“You lucky people”, as Tommy Trinder used to say.

First up at 8.00pm we will be live blogging the 2nd Leaders’ Debate which is being broadcast on Sky News between 8.00pm and 9.30pm. Rather like the Budget chat this promises to be great fun as once again 10 blogs will all be hosting it simultaneously. Let’s see if Sky do a better job than the lamentable ITV production, and set a standard for the BBC to fail to live up to.

This ‘chat’ collaboration will be between All Seeing Eye, Barking Spider, Biased-BBC, Corrugated Soundbite, Dick Puddlecote, Governmentitus, GrumpyOldTwat, Man Widdicombe, Subrosa and Tory Totty Online, – all excellent and highly recommended blogs. If you haven’t been to some of them before then please take this chance to try them out.

After a pause for breath we’ll be running our own regular chat for Question Time and This Week starting at 10:30pm. Hopefully you can make both.

See you here on Thursday night!

Question Time 15th April

On a day when all political programmes are bound to be obscured by a certain televised debate between somebody who is shortly going to stop being Prime Minister, somebody who is about to start being Prime Minister, and somebody else; Question Time this week comes from London.

On the panel this week we have a six-pack of Ed Miliband, Michael Gove, David Laws, Nigel Farage Universal-Shami Chakrabarti and John Sergeant.

For those who wish to take part in the Biased-BBC Buzzword Bingo, we will be playing by the “Election Slogan Rules” meaning that anyone with “Fire Up The Quattro“, “Death Tax“, “Back to the 80’s” and “Job Tax” on a diagonal line should play their Jokers early. Special prizes will be awarded for blasts from the past such as these 100 year old Tory onesFree Trade Victim“, “Build a Navy“, “Hurrah For Tariff Reform” and “The Lords Trust The People!

Once again TheEye and David Mosque will be risking an ASBO for swearing at politicians on the televison too loudly, and we look forward to the pleasure of your company at 10:30pm UK time.
