Theatr Brycheiniog in Brecon is to host BBC Television’s top current affairs programme Question Time on Thursday 3 June.
First broadcast on 25 September 1979, Question Time has become something of a national institution, offering British voters a unique opportunity to quiz top decision-makers on the events of the day.
David Dimbleby is the current host of the programme, building on the authority and approachability of his predecessors, Sir Robin Day and Peter Sissons.
The panels are drawn from significant figures in politics as well as industry, the media and entertainment.
Each year, some 30,000 members of the public apply to join the debate by being in the studio audience. If you wish to apply to be in the audience on Thursday 3rd June, visit http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/question_time/1858613.stm or click the link on the front page of Theatr Brycheiniog’s website.
The full line up of panellists is yet to be finalised but we can confirm that Dianne Abbott MP and labour party leadership candidate will one of them.
Question Time is regularly watched by close to 5 million viewers. This is a real coup for Theatr Brycheiniog and Mid Wales to secure the programme.
