Debate Night is returning to BBC Scotland with a revised format this month.
The programme, hosted by Stephen Jardine, will feature a panel of (socially distanced) politicians and public figures as usual.
But the questions will come from a ‘virtual audience’ seething in the comfort of their own kitchens and sitting rooms. Your involvement is actively sought.
‘Debate Night is the only place where people are regularly able to put their questions and experiences directly to Scotland's policymakers in their own words,’ says Jardine.
‘Despite the restrictions in place we are determined to continue giving people the opportunity to question those in charge.’
A range of voices
After this month’s episode, for which questioners are sought from across Scotland, subsequent ones will seek participants from different locations across the country each week.
The series ends on 17 June with members of the public chosen exclusively from Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Potential participants – who have a laptop or mobile phone and are prepared to use Zoom – are invited to apply for the first of the new series on 29 April.
The only stipulation is that they should take part as themselves, not on behalf of a company or organisation.
