Question Time 1979

Overview

Question Time is a topical debate television series that first premiered in 1979. The program is based on the format of the radio series Any Questions. The show typically features a panel of participants, including politicians representing at least the three major political parties, alongside other public figures. These guests are tasked with answering a series of pre-selected questions submitted by a carefully selected audience. The series has maintained a long-running presence on television, with episode records indicating that the program was active as recently as February 2003. The fundamental purpose of the series is to facilitate a forum where interrogative expressions are used to solicit information and responses from the invited guests. By providing a platform for public figures to address inquiries from the audience, the show functions as a structured environment for political and social debate. As an ongoing production, Question Time continues to serve as a venue for testing knowledge and gathering information on current affairs through the exchange of questions and answers.
