Stand by for a bust-up when Question Time comes from Burnley tomorrow. This week's panel features the first ever appearance by a serving footballer, PFA boss and Burnley defender Clarke Carlisle, but it also includes local boy Alastair Campbell and George Galloway. In his diaries, Campbell describes Galloway as "repulsive", while Galloway has called Campbell "the most mendacious, malodorous public servant in the land". What with the former spin doctor appearing for round two of his bout with Adam Boulton on Adam's new Sky News show earlier the same day, it could be a bruising 24 hours for Campbell. Monkey can hardly wait.
