Question Time returns to BBC One tonight (Thursday 17 September) bringing members of the public the unique opportunity to question, scrutinise and hold to account their elected representatives at a time of historic change for society and tumult at Westminster and beyond.
The BBC’s flagship topical debate programme, in which guests from the worlds of politics and all areas of public life answer questions posed by members of the public, returns after a brief summer hiatus with a virtual audience made up of people from across the UK, starting tonight with Oldham and followed next week by Chingford.
The audience members will be projected onto a large virtual wall in the studio, and with questions around Covid-19, local lockdowns, returning to work, schools and universities, the economy and the looming deadlines over Brexit, there will be plenty for them to discuss with the Question Time panel.
Panels will be made up of leading politicians and non-politicians including experts and people from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.
For information on future locations and how to take part in the virtual audience from the safety of their own homes, members of the public can apply via the BBC website.
Question Time host Fiona Bruce says: “I can’t wait to get started with Question Time. We’re coming back on air at a time where our elected representatives are making crucial decisions that will affect all of us, from coronavirus to Brexit. What better time for our audience to be able to make their views heard and get their questions answered?”
Watch Question Time tonight (Thursday 17 September) on BBC One at 10.45pm.
