      Several companion services have been tried for further discussion around issues raised on this show. From September 2007-July 2009 "Question Time Extra", a viewers' text and e-mail show was broadcast on the BBC News channel. In 2012, a Question Time Extra Guest, being a notable person who comments along live on Twitter, was added. In May 2013, a 3-hour radio phone-in including simulcast, "Question Time Extra Time" began on BBC Radio 5 Live.

    • Quotes

      Woman: [an episode held at the height of the 2009 MPs expenses scandal] Mrs. Beckett, are you going to pay back the £72,000 that you've taken, after your mealy-mouthed answer trying to explain yourself? And Mr. Campbell, how the hell do you get through £800 a month on food?

      Menzies Campbell: Not £800 a month.

    2020- unbalanced is an understatement

    Whats the point in having a questions if they don't answer them? 'Zoom'-In public guests are completely glazed over. The panel are practically there just to argue partisan politics or, like the last episode, when they talked more about 'The Crown' than The Pandemic There is never, ever any nuance. But i do like watching a fight
