Any Questions? was first broadcast on Friday 12th October 1948 - for the first eighteen months it was a West of England Home Service programme, run from Bristol. It moved to London in April 1950, but after 61 years in the capital, it returned to the production offices in Bristol in 2011.

Any Questions? is broadcast live on Radio 4 on most Friday evenings of the year following the 8pm news. The programme is repeated on Saturday lunchtimes at 1.10pm, and is followed at 2pm by the Any Answers? phone-in which gives listeners a chance to join in the debate by calling or e-mailing Anita Anand.

The programme travels throughout the United Kingdom, and occasionally to Europe, at the invitation of local organisations. The audience submits questions on the day of the broadcast and these are then sifted by the producer who selects ten questions across a range of subjects. Normally, four to six of them are included in the actual broadcast. One of the stringent and unchanging rules of Any Questions? is that the panel never sees the questions in advance; the panellists hear them for the first time at the same moment the audience in the hall and at home does. 

The new permanent presenter of Any Questions is Alex Forsythe. 

The panel will consist of Ben Bradshaw MP (Exeter), George Manbiot (Author) and Selaine Saxby MP (North Devon), Olivia Utley (Journalist).

Doors open at 6.30pm and close at 7.15pm. No admittance after that time so please leave plenty of time as parking may be difficult. 

Recording from 8.00pm - 8.50pm. 

Audience members can prepare questions in advance or on arrival. The BBC will have question cards available on the night for you to complete.
