WHISPER it, but is the BBC's Question Time very slowly coming to its senses?
Well, that might be a bit premature, but there is at least one sign of hope for those of us in Scotland.
Obviously impressed by the show in Edinburgh, the producers have seen fit not to wait three months between inviting a politician representing Scotland to appear.
In fact, this week's edition, live from Barrow-in-Furness, features an SNP MP.
Is the show finally trying to work on its statistically shown bias against the UK's second-largest political party?
That information was in Pat Kane's column earlier this month, in case you missed it.
Here's who we have on the show this week:
- SNP MP and culture spokesperson Hannah Bardell
- Labour MP Lisa Nandy
- Tory MP Andrea Jenkyns
- Financial Times journalist Sebastian Payne (previously of the Spectator and Telegraph)
- Journalist and author Paul Mason
Here is the panel for this week's #bbcqt - we're on @BBCOne and @bbc5live at 10:45pm tomorrow. @HannahB4LiviMP @lisanandy @SebastianEPayne @paulmasonnews @andreajenkyns pic.twitter.com/y0Sd442Da8

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
