Question Time 16th July 2009 screen grab
On Thursday I actually had the TV on during BBC’s Question Time. I had my back to it and the sound turned quite low, so I wasn;t really paying attention to it until near the end when I hear Dimbleby mention that they were in Colchester.

I had to watch the thing on iPlayer so I could see it. Fortunately he told me roughly when it was, so I didn’t have to watch the whole thing. Still, I’m glad to see that he had more luck getting his say than I did when I was in the audience earlier in the year. Maybe I should have made an effort and worn a suit and tie like he did…
