In the years since it was first broadcast in 1979, Question Time has become something of a national institution, offering British voters a unique opportunity to quiz top decision-makers on the events of the day. David Dimbleby is the current host of the programme, building on the authority and approachability of his predecessors, Sir Robin Day and Peter Sissons. Each year, some 30,000 members of the public apply to join the debate by being in the studio audience. The panels are drawn from significant figures in
politics as well as industry, the media and entertainment.

The programme will be recorded in front of a live audience from around 2030. The show is recorded in a single take, precisely as if it were broadcast live and then broadcast at 2235. The reasons for not broadcasting live at 2235 are to limit inconvenience to spectators and guests.

Robert Goodman, Centre Director of thecentre:mk said, “This is absolutely fantastic news for Milton Keynes and thecentre:mk. Question Time is a national institution and the unique space we have in Middleton Hall means that we are one of the only shopping centres in the UK able to host events like this. The panel is decided much closer to the time but I’m as excited as the next person about who might be on it.”
