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?

Natural gas anyone? Its cheap and plentiful and safe and comes on big ships from just about every place on the planet.

I think Cleggy looks tired not so much tense. Needs to pace himself, have a rest this weekend, still two weeks of late nights to go

THis chair is doing better than last week

SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore · 22/04/2010 20:34

DC just nicked one of NCs factoids about nuclear and 2017.

grrrrrr

we don't have enough gas storage - we mainly store it by increasing the pressure in the pipes

but we don't often need it

why do I know all this crap? I need to stop living on talkboards

OhYouBadBadKitten · 22/04/2010 20:34

thatsnotmymonkey · 22/04/2010 20:35

Clegg doesn't like Brown saying he is anti-American!

hadn't realised the answer to the climate crisis was lagging, it's so simple now!

My friend's house is being destroyed by vibrations from a wind farm, it's far more complicated than just being a NIMBY, like Gordon is alledging

this debate is duller than the last one, or i am more sober.

dinster · 22/04/2010 20:35

NC is doing well I reckon. Think it doesn't really matter what GB says, he looks like yesterday's man.

Undercovamutha · 22/04/2010 20:35

Think Clegg is doing well. GB also not too bad, but DC seems to be coming across even more slimily than normal IMO.

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 22/04/2010 20:35

I vote for politicians to make make better use of VTCs and stop jetting off to conferences and summits.

On a stage setting note - tonight's show does look a little more like a serious political discussion rather than last week's game show.

deepdarkwood · 22/04/2010 20:36

NC does a good 'listening face' doesn't he?
Much more sense of debate this week

BosomsByTheSea · 22/04/2010 20:36

'little Britain abroad'.

clever.

MsDav · 22/04/2010 20:36

Blah Gordon! stop with that odd jaw/mouth thing, it looks like he's got a gobstopper in there and he's trying to stop it falling out his mouth

morningpaper · 22/04/2010 20:36

The set looks a bit like a 1970's sports show

CUNextTuesday · 22/04/2010 20:36

GB saying he is 'pushing the Americans on climate change' -how?? Does he really think he has that influence?

mrsbean78 · 22/04/2010 20:36

DC is more polished tonight.. is this a good or a bad thing?

Pope question! Tricky!

wubblybubbly · 22/04/2010 20:36

Glug, glug, glug Stop flashing those teeth DC, I'm gonna be on the floor!

morningpaper · 22/04/2010 20:37
