Debate Night lets you lead the agenda – it is your questions that make the programme.

Each week they gather a panel of politicians and people in public life to join their panel, and give you the answers.

It has never been a more important time to have a programme that lets you speak directly to those in power.

So whether you have a question about the UK leaving the EU, the NHS, schools, climate change, or issues affecting your family – they want to hear from you.

Upcoming programmes will be filmed on Sunday afternoons in the following locations:

  • 19 May – Inverness College, UHI
  • 2 June – Edinburgh
  • 9 June – Edinburgh

Details of where the programme will be recorded, and how to apply to be in the audience over the coming weeks are on the BBC’s website.
