Question Time tonight

[hash tag]

Fake or fortune is a good fit for her.

 

[tim]

Antiques Roadshow.

Which she ruined.

Yes, she used to gouge grooves into the mahogany tables, hit Ming vases with toffee hammers and paint handlebar moustaches on all portraits

Nice to see the Tories on the panel showing a united front

they are united - they hate each other

Looking forward to a new presenter. Dimbleby was ok, but he’s past his prime. Now will they please also put Jools Hollland out to pasture. Thanks.

 

[hash tag]

Why was Jo Brand on, what was the point of her....."Ive forgotton the question" "ill make my own question up" "ill just say what I want to say".
Her only meaningful contribution was at the end on the comedian censorship thing.

 

[butchersapron]

Glad they've opened it up to privately schooled oxbridge types to host.

 

[stavros]

I was alarmed that they'd invited two Tories on, but my mind was put at rest when they started fighting on air.

David Davis, a man whose parents clearly didn't want him.

 

[Sprocket.]

Dimbleby has been on stand by for presenting an election special for the last month. Snap elections, VoNC and all that political theatre.
I couldn’t imagine Fiona doing an election special.

 

[stavros]

I couldn't imagine Dimbleby winning Rear of the Year.

He's had loads of practice at that type of gravitas....she hasn't yet ..

Maybe so, but I think Jo Coburn is far more experienced at running a political debate than Fiona Bruce is and could possibly anchor an election special.

Gravitas? Surely we need a comedy host these days for the liberal democratic nonsense.

What’s raw salmon got to do with it?


I’ve put grin in case some think I’m serious, as some have on several, previous occasions.

 

[stavros]

I hate the unanimous acclaim given to people when they retire, or for that matter die. Especially in a political sphere, a bit of objectivity should be the order of the day.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Will there be a third generation of Dumbledores though? That's what I want to know.

Mogg made some reference on QT a couple of years ago about going to Eton with Dave's son, so that might help.

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

Going to Eton with Dave's son

Never heard that euphemism before.

 

[Riklet]

David Dimblebee is quite funny at least, in his defence.

 

[stavros]

He can stumble upon a laugh sometimes, it's true.

Normally QT Extra Time is a light-hearted rehash of the programme preceding it, and I quite like Adrian Chiles as its presenter. However, last week's is nothing but a Dimbleby gush-fest. Best avoided.

For anyone interested, the Beeb have stuck a 1997 episode on the iplayer. I don't know if it's from before or after the GE that year, but it has Ted Heath and Tony Benn on it.

I saw it the other night. Amazing how moderate Ted Heath seems now!

Frederick Forsyth was another guest.

Closer to Corbyn than May, in all seriousness. And it's only 20 years ago.

 

[Ted Striker]

Fiona Bruce smashed it

A real breath of fresh air.

Back in the days when he was closer to Corbyn than Blair.

 

[Theisticle]

What creeps (they have now deleted it):

I've heard good reports, so must try and catch it up later.

Christ. Squawkbox are so horrificly awful in so many ways.

Watching it now. It's an easy start for FB, a lightweight respectful panel and virtually no shouting down of anyone or are panelists being silenced by the producers turning mikes off to prevent it. ET is well below pat and is clearly unwell. Get bigger hitters, more volatile members on the panel and it could be different. FB appears to sweet, to nice for this.
Highlight has to be woman in yellow jumper back row towards the beginning. Eloquent and informed. She has my vote.
