Glasgow set to welcome BBC's Debate Night programme this week

The political discussion show Debate Night returned to the BBC last month, and is heading to Glasgow for filming this week.

After filming the first episode in Paisley on September 21, they’re coming to Glasgow on October 29. The show is still accepting applications to be in the audience, asking for lively members of the public who want to get involved.

The upcoming show is set to focus on the current cost of living crisis, with a panel of politicians and celebrities for the audience to provide questions for.

Recent guests who have featured on the show include Deacon Blue's Ricky Ross, authors Alex Gray and Val McDermid, columnists Hugo Rifkind and Pat Kane, comedian Susie McCabe, Still Game actress Jane McCarry and former Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Piers Linney.

Presenter Steven Jardine said: “We want the people of Scotland to have their own say on BBC Scotland's political discussion show.

“Debate Night is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland that gives you the opportunity to put your questions to some of the country’s key decision-makers and public figures.

"Perhaps you run a business or are a frontline worker? You might be a parent, a carer or a student? Are you retired, self-employed or just starting out in the workplace?

"It’s your questions, stories, experiences and opinions that lead our discussion – so we couldn’t do it without you."

After filming in Glasgow the show will head to Dumfries on October 26, then Aberdeen on November 2 before going to Edinburgh on November 9.

Earlier this year, Debate Night was filmed in Easterhouse for the first time ever. With the show returning to Glasgow, you can apply to be in the audience here.

BBC Scotland Debate Night airs every Wednesday from 10.30pm onwards on the channel, and is uploaded to catch up later on BBC iPlayer.
