Do you think Question Time is already taped, or is Will Young sitting at home swotting up on current affairs as we speak?

...and cursing his agent?

...and shitting himself?

I though he was fairly rubbish on it last night

He was pretty lame. I thought his defence of Carol Thatcher was really lame.

In other news, I saw Will Young snogging his boyfriend outside Nando's in Soho last week

I've missed it? Shame!

I have no doubt that he's an intelligent man, just sniggering a bit at the idea. Under pressure! And I disagree, I bet he WAS anxious about it - lot to prove etc.

Like when people (even comedians) go on Have I Got News for You. Such pressure to be witty AT THAT MOMENT! shudders thinking of Kirsty Young sitting mute

lol!@lulabellarama. God, I missed that. Gutted. Did she screech a lot? i bet she is an undercover Tory.

Davina Maccoll?? How awful?!! Can they really contribute in that environment?

I'm not saying they haven't a right to contribute, just imagining myself (and I have definite views on a lot of things) sitting like a zombie when asked any question, surrounded by old codgers.

It is bloody tough being a woman on those comedy panel shows, though. All those competitive small -willy-- funny men bantering like they're in the locker room...quite hard to get a word in, I imagine.

When did they start getting pop stars on Question Time, btw? I think I must have missed about a year's worth of the programme around the time my son was born, and when i resumed viewing we suddenly had all sorts of inane randoms spouting forth

Will Self was great

oops! strike out didn't quite work

It was recorded, but only earlier on in the evening, about 7ish.

It was in my town last night, and i was so because we forgot all about it and wanted to go and watch. Dp because he loves QT and watches every week, me because I don't mind QT , but I'm a huge fan of Will Young, have been since x-factor.

Will Young wasn't on there because he's a pop star, he studied English Politics as University, before entering X-factor, and is a huge fan of Qt.

Do they, now?@lulabellarama. Me and Dh were considering trying to get tickets for the one in south London. I'll have to think of a really clever question, then

Will Young isn't a dunce, but he didn't contribute much, sorry.

I thought Will Young was crap on QT as well, and was gobsmacked when he appeared to be sticking up for Carol Thatcher .
