Question time - does anyone else do this?

When you see Question time on the tv programme these days do you inwardly groan and swiftly switch over to anything but that?! I've just switched to BBC1 and it's like a real downer to see Question time and I have no idea who any of these panelists are. Tell me that there is someone out there who still enjoys this programme!

I stuck it for around ten minutes but that Labour woman got on my nerves with her waffling.

Re: Question time - does anyone else do this?

The Brexit Party leader impressed me with his manner of speech. I haven't heard him speak before and I have to say that he shares with Nigel Farage that particularly convincing manner.

I found it interesting that in that city - Hull - which is traditionally Labour, the general election is likely to turn out to be rather less supporting of the Labour party than it has been.

I'd like to see the Brexit Party take the seat, and I'd hazard a guess that the other parties don't really stand much of a chance.

I usually forget when QT is on TV but in the last few weeks, I’ve been looking for it and watching it on Catch Up TV.

I think there’s been some good audiences from up North in recent weeks.

I haven’t seen it this week but if I’ve missed it, I’ll probably catch up over the weekend.

I forgot it was on...... I've had an overload of politics so I probably blocked it out. I've voted now anyway (postal vote) so it's done.

Its a bit of a sad indictment but, gave up on this programme some years ago.

Re: Question time - does anyone else do this?

Question Time = Brexit = boring. No interesting panellists, plenty of political 'sniping'
so the same old, same old these days – no thanks!

Yes, it can be boring but it,s nice to hear other peoples points of view. I know the audience is vetted and hand picked but some of the topics I find are of interest.

Re: Question time - does anyone else do this?

I still watch Question time but prefer Any Questions followed by Any answers on radio 4.

Question time has received a lot of criticism for having an 'unbalanced' panel full of pro-remain supporters, there has been some attempt to address this of late .
Last night it had 3 remain supporters Dodds, Davy and Blackford and 2 for leave Tice and Cleverly.

I usually record it and start watching 10 minutes after the start so I can fast forward through people like Blackford who sounds like a stuck record going on about Scottish independence.

Last night's wasn't so bad. It is clear what the people of Hull think about politics these days!
