TOPICAL debate programme, Question Time, will be filmed in Basingstoke tomorrow, but who is on the panel and how can you watch?
The Fiona Bruce-presented programme that invites audience members to ask questions to politicians, business people and journalists will take place in the town on Thursday, November 14.
Residents will have the chance to grill Secretary of State for Business and Trade, MP Jonathan Reynolds, in addition to opposition politician MP Damian Hinds, who formerly served as education secretary under Theresa May's government.

Also on the panel will be MP Ellie Chowns from the Green Party, member of parliament for North Herefordshire since 2024, in addition to CEO and founder of Octopus Energy, Greg Jackson.
Rounding out the lineup is journalist and historian Tim Stanley. Mr Stanley supported the Social Democratic Party at the 2024 General Election and has criticised the Labour government's budget through his weekly column in The Telegraph.
The recording of the TV programme was originally scheduled to take place earlier this year on Thursday, June 13.
However, it was postponed due to the general election, which was announced by then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak just weeks before filming on May 22.
The programme is set to last 59 minutes and will be broadcast on BBC One at 10.40pm on Thursday, November 14, before appearing on BBC iPlayer shortly after.
It's not the first time the show has been filmed in Basingstoke.
Question Time came to the Anvil in October 2013 when the panel included former Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt MP and the former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Charles Kennedy MP.
It was also filmed in the town in July 2011, when more than 3.6million people tuned into the programme with actor Hugh Grant, who complained about privacy intrusion by the tabloid press.
