Updated: BBC’s ‘Question Time’ Comes From Wrexham

This evening Wrexham is the venue for the flagship ‘Question Time’ BBC programme.

UPDATE 9:50pm: Our QT Mole has just exited the building from the filming session, where anti-fracking protestors disrupted proceedings.

The audience was asked to attend around 6:30pm and after 7pm seating took place with some being moved for what was assumed televisual reasons.

Two practises take place, with the second with the formal panel in place. At this point proceedings of a practice question were ‘disrupted’ by protestors apparently banging on doors to the building. Police were deployed and the situation was calmed to allow filming to start. The disruption was not filmed, and will therefore not be in tonights show.

Topics covered do include fracking, the NHS, leaders TV debates and food vouchers.

As of 9:50pm around eight police are still on site.

Original story from earlier below…

The panel contains Sajid Javid Peter Hain, Rhun ap Iorwerth, Kate Maltby and Germaine Greer and is being held at Glyndwr University.

Prior to filming anti-fracking protestors gathered outside the venue, with the following picture tweeted to us by @toxicsky of the warm welcome:

We have been passed the below video, which we are told has come from the filming, but have been unable to confirm if it is genuine:

The real programme is viewable from 10:45pm on BBC One, and for those twits who tweet we recommend following The DimbleBot on twitter – https://twitter.com/dimblebot .
