A new series of the panel show that takes a light-hearted look at politics, politicians, and all things Westminster.
Next programme:
Chairman Steve Richards and team captains Roy Hattersley and Sir Patrick Cormack return in the seventh series of Parliamentary Questions, joined this time by Nigel Lawson, Anthony Howard, Elinor Goodman, and others tbc.
If you aren’t bang up to date with politics, don’t worry, neither is the show: although nominally a panel show, the programme is really just an excuse for the guests to recount anecdotes from their days in the world of politics – with the emphasis on the people they’ve spoken to, and the things they’ve done, rather than their personal policies. Which other political show would have their guests recounting their biggest gaffes, before offering them mangled sentences and asking them to guess which were ever uttered by John Prescott?
Steve Richards has been a BBC political correspondent and political editor of The New Statesman, and is now chief political correspondent for The Independent, as well as presenting GMTV’s flagship current affairs show, The Sunday Programme with Steve Richards. Roy Hattersley was first elected in 1964, and was made a peer in 1997 after serving as a cabinet minister (1976-1979) and deputy leader of the Labour party (1983-1992). Sir Patrick Cormack entered the Commons in 1970, and has represented the same constituency since 1974. He was knighted in 1995. He is editor of The House magazine, and the conservative representative on the House of Commons Commission.
