Stephen Jardine: ‘We couldn’t do it without you’

BBC Debate Night presenter Stephen Jardine said everyone was welcome.

“Debate Night is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland,” he said.

“It gives you the opportunity to put your questions to the country’s decision-makers and public figures.

“We want people from all walks of life.  You might be a parent, a carer or a student?  Perhaps you run a business or are a frontline worker?

“Retired, self-employed, unemployed or just starting out in the workplace – we need you.

“It’s your questions, stories, experiences and opinions that lead our discussion – so we couldn’t do it without you.”

In past series, the panel on the programme has been made up of a mix of people.

Joining politicians in past shows, musician Ricky Ross, Still Game actress Jane McCarry and author Val McDermid are just some of the panelists who made appearances.

To apply, simply fill out a “two-minute” form on BBC’s website for each person wanting to attend.
