Definitely worth getting the beers and popcorn in for.

Let's see if Mr Clarkson can think on his feet?

Hmm, I wonder how many London motorists will be in the studio...? Or will TfL & T2000 fill it with thier little friend in oprder to make thier views (which not in any way sponsored by the bus & train companies you understand) seem popular?

Dont worry, I am sure Mr Clarkson will rip them all apart!

Question Time is filmed earlier in the evening and edited - no doubt the social, political and cultural comissars of the BBC will edit out Mr Clarkson contributions

But should be good - I'll take my tranquilisers well before that newt-fancying communist piece of garbage Leninspart says a goddamn word.

I think you need to take you tranquilisers now

Pity that there isn't a chance for interested parties to appear on QT in the audience.

[sadoksevoli]

Good idea - where's that bottle of Jim Beam

[miniman]

Anyone fancy taping it for me? I'm in Paris. There's a beer in it for you!

I have never read such clarity of thought. Have another rec.

Don't be so sure, they do pay Clarkson a few quid in wages so they may wanna get thier money's worth

I'd add that since the time when Robin Day hosted it, the quality of political debate in Question Time has noticably declined and the politicians just spout thier rehearsed soundbites blandly on it these days with little contradiction from David Dimbleby. In that sense introducing some of the aggrieved, cynical repartee which Clarkson specialises in make actually make it interesting (at least for one programme!)

[granville]

I do hope Jezza defenstrates Kenneth; the Trot.

Should be interesting to see JC parry with some of the T2000 batty boys in da house.

Here's hoping...

Yes, forgot to mention in the original post that it is in the London studio so I suspect there will be a fair few London motorists there.

I never go anywhere near London so I'll be watching from a sideline point of view, but should be interesting debate none the less.

For the safety of my family and to preserve the TV sets in the house, as well as my sanity, I think I'm going to go out tonight and give QT a miss - i don't think i can see my doctor in time to prescribe me strong enough tranqs (not that he would anyway). I effing well hate patricia hewitt - the only trade and industry she promotes is fat cat labour-donating contractors and consultants and sod the rest of us.

Incidentally every Tory candidate for the Conservative mayoral nomination said last night they would repeal congestion charging immediately upon being elected - what's more that Steve Norris (yes that's the one - shagger norris) actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to london - he'd get my vote.

[rich-uk]

Chill out James! It's only a telly program, not the house of commons!

[sadoksevoli]

Yeah yeah yeah Rich - tell you what - have a look at your council tax bill and tell me you don't feel in the slightest bit ennervated?
S'pose I better watch it then.

[WalterU]

anyone living in London and surrounds is going to suffer massively - James you have my sympathy.

Rgds, WalterU

Miniman,
I'm getting my lady to tape it as l'm at work. If you want it after tonight give us a shout!

[rich-uk]

Go on Clarkson my son!
