Question Time...................
Can't see that this has been posted anywhere else but I see from next week's Radio Times that Carol Vorderman is a guest on Question Time on Thursday BBC1.

Just here, but it's possibly worth having a new thread for if we can get enough people to watch it.Chris Corby wrote:Can't see that this has been posted anywhere else

Re: Question Time...................
It was alright. David Dimbleby had been injured, by his wife's bullock, so John Humphrys took over in the chair. And no, I'm not talking bullocks!Jon Corby wrote:Yeah, I forgot to watch. How did it go?
Humphrys couldn't seem to decide whether he was chairing a debate or conducting an interview, so I will be glad to see Dimbleby back hopefully next week - just in time for Carol Vorderman's appearance!

Yep. I'll try and get Kieran, late of this parish to write an analysis/review of it, for anyone who can't be bothered to watch, as he wrote a brilliant one of the Nick Griffin episode.Jon Corby wrote:Oh! I thought she was on last night. Next week then.

Re: Question Time...................
NEWSFLASH
Carol Vorderman will NOT, I repeat, NOT, be appearing on tonight's Question Time from Leicester.
Her place seems to have gone to the ex-Labour, now Independent MP Clare Short.

I wish I had read this post earlier. I sat through Question Time looking at Nick Ferrari thinking how much Carol had let herself go...

Re: Question Time...................
Well, Carol still hasn't appeared on this. Presumably it would have been in her capacity as Tory Maths Czar. This week they had Tory Property Czar Kirsite Allsopp on, and it was so boring I had to give up on it.
You can catch Carol Vorderman on BBC iPlayer though. All this week she has been doing a feature on The One Show about the surprising way we use maths in everyday life, doing things such as parallel parking.

Re: Question Time...................
It looks like Carol Vorderman will be on Question Time very soon. In 2 weeks and 2 days, to be exact. The only other confirmed guest at the moment is the Mayor of London.

She is on now.
Being pretty forceful. I am a tad surprised by her dominant style.

Re: Question Time...................
Thought Carol was a bit annoying (and seemed to spend all her time speaking to her notes, rather than the audience). But highlight of the evening has got to be Dimbleby interrupting Boris, in a tone one would only use with a five year old, with "now I know you're mayor of London and you like to have your say...".

Just watching it on iPlayer and absolutely A-lolled at Shirley Williams, who apparently can't count: (quote) "He appears not to have asked at any point, A. what he is going to do, B. what his intentions are and, secondly, why he doesn't fulfil the pledge ...". WTF?

Re: Question Time...................
There are lots of unfavourable comments about Carol on the BBCs Points of View website.
She seems to have made a bad impression.

Re: Question Time...................
I thought she did fine to start with. Then, during the Venables discussion, she climbed up on a very high horse and, like some swivel-eyed lunatic, started spouting all sorts of misguided claptrap, in a manner so aggressive I found it rather disturbing. I wouldn't be surprised if, right now, she's sitting on a beach, in a robe, telling the sea to go away.Ralph Gillions wrote:There are lots of unfavourable comments about Carol on the BBCs Points of View website.

Re: Question Time...................
Even the Daily Mail seems to be anti-Carol on her performance on the show.

Strange - your link goes to a 'page not found' page, but it shows up on google, but you can't get to it via that, and for some reason there's no cache, either (a techno-fuist might be able to get around that, though). Maybe they took it down because someone realised it broke the party line?James Robinson wrote:Even the Daily Mail seems to be anti-Carol on her performance on the show.

Some of the readers comments:
Fair play to Carol, it takes a special talent to out-bluster Boris Johnson but she managed it.
Carol Voldemort...
She even put Boris in the shade for stupidity - not an easy task.
