Came across as a thoroughly nasty cunt, who enjoys being a thoroughly nasty cunt.
Their Malcolms brief them thoroughly before the appearance, so they know they mustn't veer from the party line.
Whereas the panel used to be Tory, Labour, Lib Dem (sometimes subbed for a nationalist if they were outside England), a hack and someone else, it now seems GBN has become the third party of UK politics.
Have to say (unpopular opinion i know) that Bruce is getting better at hosting Question Time.Probably not her own research but she does occasionally seem to have relevant facts to bring to the attention of the panellists.The Tories having fucked up so completely over the last thirteen years one almost wonders how they can still find people willing to present themselves knowing, as they must ,that they will be made to look ridiculous.
I have noticed that they only recently seem to have realised that the game is up for the Tories and the audience are openly mocking them (despite being mostly conservative voters) and therefore the programme makers seem slightly more willing to challenge the Tory panellists and allow discussion of the disaster that is Brexit.

I can’t watch that show anymore. Apart from the token non-political it’s all talking points. Frustrating. They should be honest and call it ‘Talking Point Time’.
I actually had an idea for a political show called ‘Shocking!’.
The idea is the politician is strapped to an electric chair and all the audience have those electrical devices were if you turn a crank on the side it increases the electricity. One audience member by themselves can only creat a low amount the politician will hardly feel but as the amount of audience members increase the cranking so increases the voltage. If all audience members are furiously cranking then the politician dies.
They are instructed to crank when they feel the politician is lying or evading the question. The audience are from a broad spectrum of the political realm. It’s not by invitation. It’s by bingo balls and it’s written into the contract when you become an MP.
I feel it would incentivize politicians to be more honest.

At least they're honest enough to call it Question Time rather than Answer Time.
Have said but I've been unable to watch it for years or the R4 version. The only one I ever heard that was interesting and informative was when they had four academics on, no politicians. That experiment clearly failed.

Haven't seen it in a while, but I'm pretty sure that's the plot to the Doctor Who story Vengeance on Varos, where it's used as a distraction for the TV-addled populace whilst their natural resources are stolen.

Not seen it. The show is all my own work. I'm going to make millions!

Good luck with that. It's quite imfamous as the one where Colin Baker jokes as two of the bad guy's henchmen fall into a bath of acid.

Redwood will tell us what is to blame for Brexit being rubbish (probably nothing more creative than just saying "the blob"). Campbell will deny that Tony Blair is a war criminal. Habib is going to have to explain who he is.
