Nigel Farage,

[Khandro]

He's on BBC Question Time tonight, I shall be tuning in, will you?

[Retrochic]

Wonder if the BBC will be hiring 'rent a lefties' to boo and hiss. Yes I will probably tune in to watch

[Baldric]

Question Time, should have been Comic Relief imo, so No!

[Svejk]

Too right. He's going to Swansea tomorrow to see mikey. ;)

[Svejk]

Like 'call me dave', do you, balders?

[anotheoldgit]

From Grimsby tonight, and the panellists are Conservative Nadhim Zahawi, Labour's former home secretary Alan Johnson, leader of UKIP Nigel Farage, writer Germaine Greer and businesswoman and winner of 'The Apprentice' Michelle Dewberry.

I wonder what the Questions will be?

[Baldric]

Not a lot Svejk, but at least he's a Tory PM ;o)

[Svejk]

Some tory. ;-)

[-Talbot-]

Farage will get backing from Michelle Dewberry

[ladybirder]

Yes I think I will. Should be interesting to see how he withstands the barrage that will be coming at him.

[ichkeria]

Nigel's a bit old hat these days.
Not really interesting enough to get me "tuning in" any more
Last week was quite entertaining though with Simon Schama and Rod Liddle and the lady in tears in the audience
It will go some to beat that

[Khandro]

The weeping lady has produced much resonance, even so far as being seen as a justification for altering the tax credit laws. I have seen other single mothers this week on tv saying how hard it will be under the new proposals, but what I want to know is this; where are the fathers of their children and why are they not contributing to their upkeep, instead of the British taxpayers?

[Retrochic]

Working Tax Credit is not the exclusive Benefit of single mums, many families with two working parents claim it.

[ummmm]

What Retro says....WTC is for low income households, not just single mothers.

[sp1814]

No - I'm on episode five of the Netflix series 'Narcos'.

Have the house to myself, so I'm bingeing on it accompanied by a lamb curry.

Heaven on earth.

[Gromit]

He's on it more than Dimblebore.

[Gromit]

His twelth appearance.

[Togo]

Or as Shakespeare may have said his Twelth Night.

[TTG]

Watch after he has made a comment and take note the applause sound v the number of people shown clapping. A while ago a relative saw QT and there were significantly more people clapping compared to the sound after Farage spoke.

[Khandro]

TTG that's interesting. Also I can go back as far as Robin Day and there used to be a sort of pre amble saying how the audience had been carefully selected to avoid imbalance, I think those times are long gone.

[Gromit]

TTG/Khandro

Obviously being in the middle of the audience the sound of the clapping is higher. Each of the audience is not miked up, so boom mikes pick up the ambient applause in the room.
Having been part of a live audience many times, the recording levels sound different on the recording compared to being in the crowd.
If the inference is that the BBC turn down Farages applause because they disagree with him. Why would Farage keep returning if his performance was being nobbled. The paranoia from the anti BBC brigade is laughable.
