wonder how many times dave has thanked people tonight

Pendulum · 15/04/2010 21:53

sabs- it's dimbleby.

less confrontational and more of a neutral moderator.

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 21:53

arolf -I really think not. People don't wait 2 years for hip replacements at the moment. They really really did and it was awful.

wastwinsetandpearls · 15/04/2010 21:53

I would love Clegg to say I met a woman who said she would benefit from the tory inheritance tax pledge, actually Dave she was your wife.

lobsters · 15/04/2010 21:52

sky debate will also be on radio 4, would be interesting to listen and not watch

FattipuffsandThinnifers · 15/04/2010 21:52

They shoulda had Jeremy Kyle chairing this.

PfftTheMagicDragon · 15/04/2010 21:52

cameron's on stage notes

MsDav · 15/04/2010 21:52

lol muminlondon, am definitely not a Dave!

Good for GB for not mentioning his children when discussing the NHS.
DC is smarmy and patronising towards NHS workers.

You must be watching another programme, Kafka. Is it Outnumbered ?

zisforzebra · 15/04/2010 21:52

David Dimbleby hopefully. I love him. I don't know why they decided on sky rather than channel four which would have been a more obvious choice.

Sabs1981 · 15/04/2010 21:52

Sky??? It should have been on channel 4 with Jon Snow!

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 21:52

Would you let any of them shag you?

I wouldn't. Not even Clegg.

(Sorry to lower the tone but DH has been away for 3.5 weeks. )

APassionateWoman · 15/04/2010 21:52

Blair turned from boyish to wizened in one term, didn't he?

Kafka9 · 15/04/2010 21:51

Nick and I again!

TheFallenMadonna · 15/04/2010 21:51

And tone down the foundation.

'Cos someone will read this for sure...

snice · 15/04/2010 21:51

this has turned out very differently from how I imagined

I expected GB to struggle with this format whilst DC came across as Mr Modern DynamicMan

Instead GB looks quite comfortable whilst DC gives the impression of a slightly desperate sixth former whose just been asked to explain why he hasn't handed his homework in on time

arolf · 15/04/2010 21:51

brollyflower - waiting time improvements are almost entirely down to moving of goalposts iirc. not an actual improvement in real world.

dreamylady · 15/04/2010 21:51

Nick Clegg seems to live up to the impression i get of Lib Dems for actually being honest, up front, and reasonable. Less like politicians and more like non partisan policy wonks - and therefore much more trustworthy! Gordon Brown is reassuring and confident though and does seem unruffled. I know its irrelevant but David Cameron's face looks airbrushed and I'm finding it really distracting!

I'm feeling more reassured that Lib Dems OR Labour could do a good job. If only the Tories weren't in the mix.

Glad to see the Trident debate aired on National TV, thanks to the Lib Dems.

TheFallenMadonna · 15/04/2010 21:50

I'll be interested to see whether DC changes tack with his "I met someone who..." stories next time...

muminlondon · 15/04/2010 21:50

not you MsDav!

Sabs1981 · 15/04/2010 21:50

Thanks zisforzebra I wonder who will chair the BBC one, Dimbleby or Paxman?

wastwinsetandpearls · 15/04/2010 21:50

I think if everyone who said " I wish the LIb DEMS could get in" actually did vote LIB DEM they probably would get in.

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 21:50

Sky?! How will I watch then ?

Spidermama · 15/04/2010 21:50

That was cheap of DC using the deaths of two men for that tawdry point.
