‘Any Questions?’ is a topical discussion programme on BBC Radio 4, in which a panel of personalities from the worlds of politics, media, and elsewhere are posed questions by the audience. The show is broadcast from a different location each week, and this episode was hosted by Washington Academy in South Tyneside. One of the unique aspects of ‘Any Questions?’ is that the panellists hear questions for the first time at the same moment the audience in the hall and at home does, to spark dynamic conversations and true to life discussion.
