to wonder what the hell WILL YOUNG is doing on QUESTION TIME??

[ssd]

I mean jesus wept, I turn this on to see whats happening and Will Young is there looking like a knob

I just asked that of DP. He doesn't know either...

HTH

Did you hear me shout "what the fuck are you doing there?"

BECAUSE HE'S A SERIOUS ARTIST

and next week Jessie J is presenting Country File

They quite often have a "celeb" there don't they? I quite like him

You never know, he may surprise you...

He should stick to singing like a wasp trapped in a jam jar

I also have no idea.
Should be going to be bed but now having to stay up to find out....

but he's got his intellectual glasses on....

So he's not entitled to have an opinon?

Fuck - there are enough misinformed ones wafting round this website on a day to day basis.

He's an intelligent young man in the public eye with a degree in politics and whose opinions are worth listening to as much as the next person? Just a thought. Last week they had the guy in charge of the association of professional footballers. he was relatively coherent as well. I often think they are far more interesting than the politicians who twist every question into another way to snipe at each other.

Because of one of the debates?

Gay Marriage ishoo

Gotta say I'd rather listen to him any day than Eric Pickles and his usual round of bile. Though Pickles has just come out in favour of gay marriage which rather surprises me.

He talks a lot more sense than a lot of the politicians do.

I like him.

So you'd rather just watch politicians?

I think there should be more than one member of the public on it.

I believe he has a politics degree, and they often have celebs. He seems to fit the bill perfectly

he's been on before and did really well. Sorry I've missed this time round!

Holding his own, I'd say

He's acquitted himself rather well. The panel is very, very shit tonight, but has been for many weeks now. Not enough "real" politicians on IMO. The Daily Mail woman is making me quite stabby and I'm feeling mellow after several

IMO QT needs to man up, it's becoming v lightweight

He's made some comments about Rihanna not being a good role model for women or something....maybe it's something to do with that?

He did seem to be working hard to keep up with it. He was talking sooooo s-l-o-w-l-y.

He studied Politics at Exeter University (in the year above me ).

Here here EightiesChick (Pickles is vile).

Well I don't know, no Will Young fan, but before becoming a 'pop star' he studies politics at university, is clearly an intelligent man, and probably speaks a lot more sense than some of the people of QT.

Although, we do normally watch QT and agree there have been some questionable panel guests of late.

Perhaps it's trying to appeal to a wider audience... .

on not of

Thought it was all about making the programme seem less 'elitist' and therefore more accessible to more of the licence paying public. After all ratings are important to the Beeb!

He is much better qualified than some of the people they have had on and if having celebs on does make it less elitist and more palatable to the younger voters who often couldn't care less about politics that can only be a good thing. I hated QT as a younger person when all the panelists just looked like a bunch of boring old men. I might have taken an interest in politics much sooner if the panel had been as varied as it is now.

Plus it is good if they have somebody who doesn't have to tow a party (or a newspapers) line.
