BBC Radio 4 Any Questions?

Introduction

Any Questions? was first broadcast in October 1948. Every week the BBC visits a different part of the country with a panel of four speakers who answer questions from the audience. The programme provides the opportunity for people to challenge politicians, policy makers, writers and thinkers.

The programme is aimed at people who are engaged with the political landscape and interested in current affairs.  The aim is to make a programme that is topical and interesting to a UK-wide audience, while also reflecting and giving voice to the part of the country that the BBC is visiting each week.
