Any Questions?

BBC Radio 4's flagship political discussion programme is coming to Daviot on Friday 6th December 2024.

The programme was first broadcast in October 1948 and visits a different part of the UK every week with a panel of four speakers who answer questions from the audience, providing people with the opportunity to challenge politicians, policy makers, writers, and thinkers.

The panel is different each week and is broadcast LIVE on Radio 4 straight after the 8.00pm news bulletin. It's your chance to put your question to the panel.

Doors open at 6.30pm and close at 7.15pm. The programme will be broadcast live from 8-9pm. Entry is by ticket only. Please note there will be security checks on admittance to the venue. Recording and photography during the broadcast is not permitted.

There will be question cards available for you to complete on arrival. Look forward to seeing you there!

The host this evening is Alex Forsythe
Alex has worked as a BBC political correspondent for the past eight years, putting her on the frontline of British politics during a particularly busy time which has seen three general elections, the EU referendum, multiple leadership contests and the Covid pandemic. During this period she has also covered as a presenter on Politics Live, the Westminster Hour & the World Tonight as well as regularly appearing on the Brexitcast and Newscast podcasts. By working as a political correspondent based outside of London, Alex has developed a new role for the BBC to diversify coverage and reach and reflect new audiences. Since 2019 she’s travelled the UK, spending time with communities and providing the link between political strategy in Westminster and the wider public mood. Alex has also had stints in specialist departments including home affairs, education and foreign news, including periods living and working in Brussels and Beirut. Alex started out in journalism in local newspapers before joining BBC local radio teams in Oxford and then Southampton before moving to network news. She grew up in Portsmouth and now lives in the West Midlands. .

Alex is thrilled to be hosting Any Questions? It’s a programme she has listened to and loved for many years, providing a vital opportunity for people to put their questions to elected leaders, which is more important than ever given the noise that can often surround the political debate of our times.
