Question Time is a topical debate BBC television programme that has been broadcast weekly in the United Kingdom since 1979.
Based on the Radio 4 programme Any Questions?, the show typically features politicians from at least the three major political parties as well as other public figures who answer pre-selected questions put to them by an audience selected on the basis of its political views and demographic.[1]
The independent production company Mentorn has made the programme for the BBC since 1998.[2]
Question Time has been presented by Sir Robin Day (1979–89), Peter Sissons (1989–93) and is currently hosted by David Dimbleby (1994–present).[3]
