DA Baracus Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It's definitely both. The show is a massive farce. Every single show has long since had multiple plants. I wouldn't be surprised if much of it rehearsed. It's basically just a pathetic propaganda show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTG Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I don't think the BBC looks at the way people voted locally on stuff like Brexit. I suspect that they try to ensure that the audience is almost a 50/50 split every week because they need match to the national outcome. They may get it wrong by a few percent either way but it explains why there were so many WATP types in the Motherwell audience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outcome in Motherwell is anytime someone runs for a WATP type party they get utterly rejected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if your gonna do that, there is no point touring it around the country. Just have it in one studio and bus your audience in. Surely the point of touring the nation is to provide viewers not just with the Q & A element, but also to appreciate how other parts of the country view the issues of the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee Billy wasn't the only face in that audience that was there more than once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with that. I was only suggesting an option other than that they're coming the c**t and deliberately misrepresenting areas - specifically Scotland. I don't know why I'm being so generous of spirit to be honest - flute boy proved they were at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I wish they would plant Barnes on the panel every week, his few minutes of contributions were amongst the most honest and inciteful input on QT in a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised at the depth of thought behind some of his points from that Sky interview that was floating about on the Liam Neeson comments recently too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow-sheep Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Is it too much to suggest the BBC Scotland equivalent tonight wasn't too bad. Alot better than question time primarily because it was all relevant and representative of Scotland. Host also lot better than dimbelby or Bruce. I'd give it a go again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 One of my poet friends was on it and I can’t watch because my VPN is acting the c**t. Heard good things about it, tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerwickMad Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I was in the audience and thought it was fairly good. I was kind of hoping for some chaos, but it was interesting and some good debate. The host was very good and helped. I did see some guy called Robbie there who was at the pilot. He apparently led some Edinburgh Yes movement and had a bust up with someone on the way in. “Don’t you threaten me!” He managed to keep himself calm during the filming though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 This Lionel one is fucking horrendous. Wehn gets kudos for his "if you were daft enough to fall for the side of a bus, you'll be daft enough to fall for something equally stupid". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
