What happens

Question Time is a topical debate programme, typically broadcast on BBC One at 10:45 pm on Thursdays. It is usually repeated on BBC Two (with British Sign Language) and on BBC Parliament later in the week. Leaders specials are broadcast simultaneously on BBC News. Question Time is also available on BBC iPlayer. Fiona Bruce currently chairs the show having succeeded David Dimbleby as presenter in January 2019. The programme usually takes annual Westminster recess-style breaks especially at Christmas, Easter and Summer. Mentorn has produced the programme since 1998. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
