Back at the time of the last Iraq war there was an instance where the first questioner deviated from script in a righteous way, so they scrubbed his entire question. I'm totally convinced that QT audience rigging by the Beeb occurs, but did watch about a year ago when Mad Mel Phillips was roundly harangued by quite a few who had slipped the net which was very good to see. I saw that GG was on last night then forgot to watch. Will try to catch a repeat. I very rarely watch these days for the sake of my blood pressure. Beeb audience rigging is not confined to QT. The first Scottish Independence debate was too.
