Question Time this Thursday hails from Middlesborough. It’s QT’s second visit to what the local council describe as the “flagship” town hall…which presumably means that it has sails on and the crew have scurvy.
The panel this week include Roy Hattersley and actor Tom Conti.
For those who wish to take part in the B-BBC Buzzword Bingo, we will be playing by the “Gosling Rules” meaning getting “Self-Publicist”, “Pillow” and “Murder” on a diagonal line win you a television documentary. Anyone needing assistance must clearly ask for help, and the prize this week is a Get Out Of Jail Free Card.
This week we have a new line-up in the B-BBC QT Moderators Box. Guiding you through this weeks splurge of socialism will be the All Seeing Eye and, back on the team, the excellent David Mosque. If you haven’t tried our live-chat before then please give it a go. It’s a free-wheeling, non serious bit of virtual pub-talk…of the sort you get just before closing time. After all, who’d watch QT if they were sober, eh? Strictly lighthearted banter and only for those with well developed senses of wit, irony and sarcasm.
As usual the gluttons for punishment can stay with the chat to enjoy This Week as well. See you here at 10:30 UK time.
