April 22nd TV Debate

823 replies

I'm going along to be in the audience this Thursday for the Sky News TV Debate - it's being filmed in the South West, although it seems we're not supposed to say exactly where for security reasons.

Would people like an official MN behind-the-scenes report afterwards?

Should I break the rules and heckle/cheer loudly at a strategic moment, and if so then when?

If I'm allowed to ask a question should I go "off-script" and ask about biscuits?

Is there anything else I should think about?

The debate has been rather good, they should do it more often

Only just got both kids to bed and turned on debate, so may have missed lots but Gordon's over mobile jaw is very off putting I find it hard to hear what he's saying, as my eyes are drawn to his jaw everytime.

scrapping?

ooooh great question.

CaveMum · 22/04/2010 20:44

Anyone else think NC is choosing his words very carefully so as not to upset the missus?!

Don't buy Gordon Brown's statement that the Catholic church is an important part of British society - didn't their influence in this country end 500 yes ago?!

Not impressed with the lack of defence/military talk.

Mary has the Power! She da Boss!

MsDav · 22/04/2010 20:44

Thats what you meant right? ;)

CagedBird · 22/04/2010 20:44

oh he's still doing it isn't he "firstly mary...." yay he said my name, I must vote for you

Brollyflower · 22/04/2010 20:44

Oh FFS I have nearly missed the whole thing as like a numpty I assumed it would be at 9pm like last week . Anyone want to summarise how it's going for me?

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 22/04/2010 20:45

Nick's suit is much better this time, it's hard to pull off a grey suit well.

MmeLindt · 22/04/2010 20:45

Mary Mary quite contrary

MsDav · 22/04/2010 20:45

Clegg ahead on the Times live poll, Shocker! Cameron won that one last time

CagedBird · 22/04/2010 20:45

teaandcake that's exactly what my husband just said rofl

BosomsByTheSea · 22/04/2010 20:45

oooooh who is DCs paymaster in Belize?

thatsnotmymonkey · 22/04/2010 20:46

i think gordon has had his teeth whitened

morningpaper · 22/04/2010 20:46

shockers MrsDav

if this turned into a Lib Dem landslide it would be utterly astonishing

vesela · 22/04/2010 20:46

I think they're all being shot too much from below, hence the teeth gaps and Gordon's wonky jaw which I've never seen before.

secure the recovery? what's that got to do with it?!!

CagedBird · 22/04/2010 20:46

I was told though that his jaw and everything was due to a car accident so we shouldn't mock

teaandcakeplease · 22/04/2010 20:46

Brollyflower · 22/04/2010 20:46

Oooo the camera shots are a bit different this time. More closeups & reactions.

RecycledIcicle · 22/04/2010 20:47

how many times has 'transparency' been said this year?

sfxmum · 22/04/2010 20:47

last week was at 8 as well

think they are all much more cautious but it is improving

DC not as horrid as last week all more even I think

MsDav · 22/04/2010 20:47

Utterly astonishing but utterly brilliant morningpaper

MmeLindt · 22/04/2010 20:47

Yesssssssssssss, we know her name is Mary.

BosomsByTheSea · 22/04/2010 20:48

DC is so out of touch. Most people don't want to choose who stands, they want them not to rob them blind and do sweet nothing.

NoahAndTheWhale · 22/04/2010 20:48

I thought it was 8:30 last week.
