QUESTION Time is returning to Scotland tomorrow, for the first time since it was held in Elgin back in May.
That particular episode caused quite the stir as viewers noticed a former Tory MSP - sitting in the audience - had been given the chance to speak for about a minute, while Moray Conservative and Unionist councillors Frank Brown and Claire Feaver, and former treasurer Jane Lax, were also spotted.
The SNP's depute leader Keith Brown lambasted the programme for letting far-right and pro-Brexit parties “dominate".
Now the BBC is bringing the panel show, fronted by Fiona Bruce, to Glasgow.
Question Time is in Glasgow tomorrow. On the panel we have @Kirstene4Angus, @BarryGardiner, @HumzaYousaf, @AngelaHaggerty and @iain_w_anderson. Join us from 10.45pm on BBC One #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/ZF3ZWAVOom

Those who have been invited on include Scottish Tory candidate for Angus Kirstene Hair, Labour's shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner, Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, former Sunday Herald news editor Angela Haggerty and executive chairman of political consultancy firm Cicero Group.
While Brexit and the election will obviously be on the agenda, it's likely to predict independence will come up at some point too.
The programme broadcasts from 10.45pm on BBC One tomorrow night.

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
