BBC Radio 4's Any Questions? to be broadcast live from Norwich Cathedral

Politics and current affairs will be taking centre stage at Norwich Cathedral next month when BBC Radio 4 broadcasts its flagship political discussion programme Any Questions? live from the Cathedral Nave.

All are welcome to apply for free tickets to watch the programme which is being presented by Alex Forsyth on Friday 6 March.

Audience members are encouraged to come armed with topical questions as they will have the chance to quiz the Any Questions? panel which each week is made up of well-known personalities from politics, media and other areas. The full panel line-up will be confirmed nearer the time.

The Dean of Norwich, the Very Revd Dr Andrew Braddock, said: “We are delighted to be hosting BBC Radio 4’s Any Questions? at Norwich Cathedral.

“This is your chance to ask questions about what matters to you most – and we look forward to an evening full of interesting and insightful discussion with the Any Questions? panellists.”

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

Free tickets to attend the Friday 6 March broadcast at Norwich Cathedral are available on a first come first served basis and must be booked in advance.

Entry will be by ticket only. Doors will open at 6.30pm and the audience must be seated by 7.15pm ahead of the final preparations for the broadcast. The programme will be broadcast live between 8pm and 9pm.

Questions can be submitted by the audience on arrival and there is no limit to how many questions each person can submit. Great questions are topical, reflect the area where the show is being broadcast and spark an interesting discussion.

Children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Recording and photography during the broadcast is not permitted.

BBC Radio 4's Any Questions? will be broadcast live from Norwich Cathedral after the 8pm news on Friday 6 March. It will be repeated on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday 7 March at 1.10pm and will also be available on BBC Sounds.
