Why be part of the audience?

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

We want people from all walks of life.  You might be a parent, a carer or a student.  Perhaps you run a business or are a frontline worker.  Retired, self-employed, unemployed or just starting out in the workplace - we need you.

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

Our panels are a great mix of people.  Recent guests alongside politicians include award-winning actor Brian Cox, TV stars Patrick Grant and Jane McCarry from Still Game, sport stars Pat Nevin and David Martindale, authors Val McDermid and AL Kennedy, musicians Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) and Stuart Murdoch (Belle & Sebastian), entrepreneurs Sir Tom Hunter, Alan Savage and Lord Sugar's advisor Mike Soutar from The Apprentice.
