They'll be filming it tonight then, so I wonder what the topics will be... that case of the guy who avoided jail after battering the old man is bound to get a mention.

I'll have the whole show available for download about an hour after broadcast.

Francis Maude is one of those totally plastic politicians - moulded hair and polished rhetoric, so here's hoping Galloway gets the chance to lay into him.

"Francis Maude is one of those totally plastic politicians - moulded hair and polished rhetoric, so here's hoping Galloway gets the chance to lay into him."

Agree with that description of Francis Maude, but I suspect that there may be even more sparks between GG & Lord Falconer.

depends on the questions really, the last few weeks i've found quite boring

i mean, wouldn't it be great if the dr david kellys murder came up, cuba - the elections there and americas blockade, the massive increase in civilians killed in iraq from air attacks, the medias propaganda on iran, the medias failure on iraq and 'the war on terror' etc

i'd like to hear david dimbleby answer why hes refused to have john pilger on the show and why he campaigned against him receiving the richard dimbleby award ...

"The journalists' establishment's disapproval reached its apotheosis when David Dimbleby and Robin Day campaigned against Pilger receiving the prestigious Richard Dimbleby Award."

ha, yeh its gonna be funny to watch, looking forward to this one!!!!!!! straight after the spurs game its gonna be a busy evening for me ':P'

i've said so many times the narrower the panel gets the narrower minded the audience gets, more pilger, less oliver kamm.

i've heard about dimbleby opposing Pilger's nomination, that was terrible, david dimbleby is pretty annoying, just seems really supine all the time

I'm psyching myself up for this question time, hehe! It should be interesting, and hopefully explosive.
