ANOTHER week, another BBC Question Time entirely free of politicians representing Scotland.
Last week the show aired from Cardiff, Wales, and so the producers perhaps feel that the "outside England" box has been ticked for a good wee while.
This week, the Question Time audience will be in Wallasey, England, before heading to Beckenham next week.
Host Fiona Bruce will be joined by five others on the Question Time panel.
These are:
- Nadhim Zahawi, Tory MP
- Sarah Jones, Labour MP
- Anand Menon, prefessor of European politics
- Bonnie Greer, novelist and playwright
- Melanie Phillips, journalist and broadcaster
Here’s our panel in Wallasey tonight. We’ve got @nadhimzahawi, @LabourSJ, @anandMenon1, @Bonn1eGreer and @MelanieLatest. See you at 10:35pm on @BBCOne #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/WaxpPtVEEJ

The show's most recent contributor from the Scottish political sphere was SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford, on September 5.
The show last travelled to Scotland on May 16 in Elgin, and will do so next on November 7, when it comes to Glasgow.
The BBC's "flagship" political debate show, everyone...
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
