did anybody else see a few people in the audience that looked familiar as in previous BBC programmes.
I cant be 100% sure but I did see three people who looked recently familiar ?.
I said that to wife during the program, certainly for 1 person.I cant be 100% sure but I did see three people who looked recently familiar ?.
Are there a group of highly political folk who target these events to make sure they are in the audience??

The BBC did not pick the audience. They went with a well-known company with a reputation to uphold. There is nothing else they could do at such at important event. So they've done everything they can do. You are criticising them for complying with their charter; all rather pointless. Your argument is with ComRes.
ComRes is also used by ITV.
So is ComRes biased? If it is them its reputation will suffer and their function is to pick a representative audience.
We need a comres is biased thread?ComRes is also used by ITV.

Isn't the case that lefties are always a lot more shouty and aggressive, just like we saw with the SNP supporters during the late unpleasantness, they have been at it again in this election when that nurse dared to challenge Sturgeon during a Q& A session.
The Corbyn supporters are cut of the same cloth, shouty and aggressive, hence it looks like the audience is biased due to a collection of rowdy ne'er do wells.

Gosh....I am so surprised !How daft are these people ..do they not know Momentum and their methods to usurp democracy ?
I'd take it with a pinch of salt.
And if it is true, when you have people on here saying proudly that they paid £3 to join the Labour party to vote for Corbyn thinking they were sabotaging the leadership election is it really that surprising that you get muppets on the left and the right?

The "Muppets" are those that have those systems/methods...............And if it is true, when you have people on here saying proudly that they paid £3 to join the Labour party to vote for Corbyn thinking they were sabotaging the leadership election is it really that surprising that you get muppets on the left and the right?
BBC now accused of anti-Labour bias for blurring our Corbyn's name in One Love Manchester coverage.

Much moaning on social media about what seems to me to be a sensible decision to remove politics from the coverage.

Sorry to besmirch the forum with a mention of... (looks around furtively) the Mail, but they have some words about a chap, Conservative voting businessman, who tried several times to get on the QT audience. Never a reply.
Until the day he lied and claimed to be something like a Labour voting trade union activist, or something like that. Boom! Reply to his application and a phone call arrived quickly.
If true, busted.

Unsurprising. I actually made a formal complaint to the BBC a few weeks ago about QT, as there had been a recent clear pattern of having 3 pro remain guests versus 2 pro Brexit. Hardly representative of the national vote. The audiences were also clearly packed with Momentum performing seals.I just received a standard cut and paste waffle about all views being represented, they really don't get it.

Has anybody EVER had a letter from the BBC admitting anything was ever wrong with any of their actions ?I just received a standard cut and paste waffle about all views being represented, they really don't get it.
