DO not re-adjust your set. You are not seeing things.
In a shock move from the BBC, SNP MP Joanna Cherry will be joining tomorrow's Question Time panel – just 28 days since the last offering of Scottish representation in the form of Alyn Smith.
Maybe we'll be treated to this privilege on a monthly basis from now on?
The show will be returning to Scotland, taking place in Dundee, with Fiona Bruce presenting.
It will air tomorrow at 10.35pm on BBC One Scotland.
Here's who will be getting questions put to them:
- Tory MP Tom Tugendhat
- Labour MP and deputy leader hopeful Ian Murray
- SNP MP Joanna Cherry
- Scottish crime writer Val McDermid
- Edinburgh-based journalist Alex Massie
Here's our panel for tomorrow. We have @TomTugendhat, @IanMurrayMP, @joannaccherry, @valmcdermid and @alexmassie. Join us from Dundee at 10:35pm on BBC One. #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/2UysiTmAPX

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
