IT shouldn't come as a surprise – but with Question Time's past line-ups, it does.
In this week's edition of the BBC political panel show, a representative of the third largest party in the House of Commons is appearing ... and it's only 35 days since that last happened!
Taking place in King's Lynn, SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford will be among those appearing.
The SNP have tried to draw attention to the power grab on Scotland, and have earned another opportunity to do so here.
And with some of the names on the panel, there could be fireworks...
Here's the full #bbcqt line-up in King's Lynn this Thursday: @patel4witham, @lisanandy, @IanBlackfordMP, Matthew Parris and @CarolynRadford

Appearing alongside Blackford will be:
Priti Patel, Tory MP for Witham and a key figure in the Vote Leave campaign
Lisa Nandy, the Labour MP for Wigan
Matthew Paris, a columnist for The Times and The Spectator, and a former Tory MP
Carolyn Radford, CEO of Mansfield Town Football club (she became English football's youngest when appointed), and studied politics at Durham
Because it's such a rare occurence to have a voice for Scotland on these panels, we'll be live blogging Question Time tomorrow night.
We look forward to seeing what the audience and panellists make of a politician standing up against the Brexit power grab on devolved parliaments.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
