  • 00:02:46: @timjnx Noooooooo! Stay with us. #bbcqt will not let you go!
  • 00:05:25: Of all Brown's many, varied and sometimes catastrophic faults, why are we concentrating on his poor penmanship? #bbcqt
  • 00:16:23: @tomdaylight Your [caps lock] appears to be stuck on.
  • 00:20:07: The @bbcquestiontime mention appears to be standard now, but still no plug of the #bbcqt hashtag! Boooooooo!
  • 00:29:09: #bbcqt Well, you learn something new every day. Apparently the South-West is getting bigger (say Lib Dems). Unexpected geological activity?
  • 00:35:24: @stupotpot What's your credit card number? ;-) #bbcqt
  • 00:37:56: @mathewhulbert Are petards usually sonething one can be caught on? #bbcqt
  • 00:43:30: @sophyridge Yes, but they aren't planning to store the database in your book. That'd enforce a heavy physical access requirement #bbcqt
  • 00:46:54: #thisweek opening lottery graphics. No expense spent
  • 00:59:41: @iaindale She really doesn't suit the format, does she. #bbcqt
  • 01:05:54: @MrDVine I think the bulk of the travvic is over on #thisweek
  • 01:07:45: @El_Cuervo Well no, no-one *likes* Tories, they aren't lnaturally likeable. They project an air of competent bastardlyness.
  • 01:10:39: @KazHall #bbcqt trends most weeks, I think.
  • 01:17:07: @PaulNUK Is he being sponsored for #Movember? #thisweek
  • 01:23:54: @MrDVine Breaking News: revised estimated result in line with previous estimated result! Stay tuned for more updates! #thisweek
  • 01:30:12: @rachelolgeirsso Since we don't have a carbon tax or non-cheap credits, none of the low CO2 methods are economic on the required scale.
  • 02:06:07: @jp_murphy Is it possible the whole of Glasgow is afloat, and the floor is swaying? #glasgowne
  • 02:19:40: RT @jp_murphy: #GlasgowNE - Count faster. Given turnout and clear margin of victory, is the delay a sign of poor arithmetic skills in GNE?
  • 02:44:36: Chap on #GlasgowNE coverage "I wonder if there are more people in that hall than are still watching us on tellt?"
  • 02:47:32: @chasbooth I'd even settle for some of Jeremy Vine's lib-dem result graphics right now #glasgowne
  • 02:54:32: #glasgowne BBC pundit is reporting the wagon is falling off the SNP. Clearly an argument in favour of overnight counts.
  • 03:08:33: #glasgowne Predictable Lab win, disappointing result for SNP. Tories just squeak 3rd & kept deposit. BNP just 4th and didn't. Turnout 33%
  • 03:11:34: #glasgowne Lib Dems vanished into obscurity. Special prize for the TILT candidate, who scored 13. There were 43 spoiled ballots.

  • 20:59:12: @rachelolgeirsso John Humphries, apparently. #bbcqt
  • 21:40:51: @markinreading Oh, the Today presenter, not the Product Support manager from Reading then?#bbcqt
  • 22:59:15: RT @markinreading: Nxt wk: QT-down-the-Pub. From 8pm Thurs Red Lion, Reading bit.ly/2j0wky (Ox and Nott poss) #bbcqt #pubqt #rdg #rdgtweetup
  • 23:03:08: @markinreading Sadly not, but always happy to spread the word. #bbcqt #pubqt
  • 23:03:30: @hadleighroberts 22:45 #bbcqt
  • 23:11:05: @HadleighRoberts Well I hate to conflict with myself. EPG says 22:45, after a Crimewatch Update. #bbcqt
  • 23:30:40: @markinreading We're putting @KerryMP in charge of Conan and Judge Dredd-based gaming products? http://bit.ly/3d3yws #bbcqt
  • 23:31:51: In non-QT related news, I see Boris Island is still on the agenda.
  • 23:35:52: Bit of crime then #bbcqt. Just time to open that bottle of wine, pour that beer, of if you're slightly concussed, just put the cattle on.
  • 23:47:14: It's #bbcqt time., with Today's John Humphrys in the chair. After last week's Kilroy episode, DD is off sick due to a surfiet of bull.
  • 23:48:40: To answer that all important start-of-#bbcqt question., the JH tie is a collection of assorted coloured ovoid blobs.
  • 23:50:03: @virginflyer Noooooooo! Heretic! Burn Him/Her! Speak not against the wonder that is the #spidertie!
  • 23:54:52: RT @andrew_holt: Lol. 'These men go out there - some of them women, of course - ...' - Shaun Woodward. #bbcqt

  • 00:05:59: @KerryMP In order to be in favour of scrapping a ban on an activity you have to practice it? That cleary makes no sense at all.
  • 00:37:35: @KerryMP You were asked why label them hunters, and you said '*because* they've pledged to scrap ban'. It's the causation that's the issue.
  • 00:39:42: @KerryMP Unless, I suppose, we take 'Why label' not as 'justify the truth of this assertion' but as 'why did you mention it'
  • 00:50:48: @KerryMP Aaah, I read it in t'other sense (after all, 'Why does Labour MP mention Tory fox hunting?' isn't a very interesting question)
  • 00:57:55: @embitteredhack Not sure position in pro-hunting lobby group automatically makes him loon, unless you think hunting inherently loony #bbcqt
  • 01:03:59: @KerryMP True, but thats proof that MPs *can* do two jobs well. Suggests it should be allowed, and have electorate boot the slackers out.

  • 00:08:38: #bbcqt aforementioned comedian: Kilroy is a little bit like one of teh old men in the Muppets (but apparently not in a mean way?)
  • 00:10:00: DD's got the hang of plugging @bbcquestiontime, but when will the poor #bbcqt hashtag get some love?
  • 00:13:52: #bbcqt Should just mention that that comedian I keep forgetting the name of is Natalie Haynes.
  • 00:18:37: @thewhiteroom23 "Is it me or does Ian Blair look like a thin Kenneth Clarke" Isn't that an oxymoron? #bbcqt
  • 00:21:58: @noelinho This way's greener ;-)
  • 00:25:49: #bbcqt What the hell is an 'electronic border'? Are they building those big fences from Jurassic Park? Are the asylum seekers veloceraptors?
  • 00:28:53: #bbcqt Kilroy's main argument is that 'people weren't asked'. Dodgy position to hold, as most people, if asked, would tell you RKS is a tit.
  • 00:30:19: @markinreading I *was* right about the velociraptors then! #bbcqt
  • 00:35:21: @embitteredhack Why, are foxes in fact highly absorbant of greenhouse gasses? #bbcqt
  • 00:42:10: @DuncanStott Then we'd have to have more Kelvin MacKenzie #thisweek
  • 00:46:44: @embitteredhack I'm always forgetting what's where in the ever shifting world of mergers splits and rebrandings that is whitehall.
  • 00:48:11: @embitteredhack I should've known better than to make the assumption that DEFRA would be responsible for an environmental issue. #bbcqt
  • 00:50:21: @Jrusso84 Yes, he's wearing a pastel coloured shirt and *nothing else at all* #thisweek
  • 00:58:54: @gift_of_the_fab No #thisweek
  • 00:59:27: @manwiddicombe My guess, trying to set fire to him #thisweek
  • 01:00:09: @originalnufc Yes. Robert Kilroy Silk is going to invade Poland #bbcqt
  • 01:25:09: @mrs_od Bit late for not watching #bbcqt isn't it? More the hour for not watching #thisweek

  • 01:08:17: @KerryMP in that case, will we have to recruit all minsters from the Lords?
  • 23:39:28: It's #bbcqt time again, and DD's got a blue tie with an assortment of purple insects. 1st up, Lisbon and the Tories
  • 23:42:46: @PeterBowers #bbcqt It never has before
  • 23:45:19: #bbcqt Surely an act asserting Parliamentary sovereignty only holds if it is already sovereign, in which case, wouldn't it be redundant?
  • 23:50:35: #bbcqt Commedien whose name I forget suggests we shouldn't bother with refurrendum because it'll be expensive and we'll just repeat til yes
  • 23:59:31: @kevpeel "Does Nick Herbert look like Odo to anyone else or is it just me?! #DS9lookalikes #bbcqt" His hair isn't as realistic.

  • 00:01:15: @suchprettyeyes Do what the rest of us do, relax and pour yourself a generous helping of your tipple of choice. #thisweek
  • 00:05:22: @palfrey Only 5? you should've tried following #bbcqt live!
  • 00:12:48: @kevpeel The couple of days disruption from these strikes will barely affect most people. #thisweek
  • 00:16:59: @janetedavis So *that's* the cap Straw wants to put on immigration! #thisweek #bbcqt
  • 00:26:54: @BobbyLooga Very possibly #thisweek
  • 01:16:51: @jasoneye He has an unipmortant moose that's pointing in the wrong direction? Or is that elk? #bbcqt

  • 21:30:05: @jamesgraham Hmmmmm. Perhaps instead of the leaders debates we could get them to play a televised game of Catan?
  • 21:48:37: Played Dominion: Intrigue on 2009-10-18 http://boardgamegeek.com/play/details/3502136 #bggplay
  • 22:37:32: Have decamped to Chez @dorward to watch #bbcqt on his shiny display
  • 22:38:10: #bbcqt DD tie update, and it's a bright green one with anchors and some purply bits
  • 22:39:26: @fayedavies Bring back #spidertie! We, the public, demand it! #bbcqt
  • 22:49:53: @dizzy_thinks Yup, and very handy it's been too. #bbcqt
  • 22:50:53: Awww, poor Nick Griffin. Not even our Nazis like him! #bbcqt
  • 22:54:04: NG: "I was talking to the Klan, but they were a nice Klan, they had cookies and everything!" #bbcqt
  • 22:58:43: NG won't answer the question, citing 'European Law'. JS promises he can go ahead, and he is the Lord Chancellor, donchaknow. #bbcqt
  • 23:00:19: Britain should always remain a christian country? whll that's us atheists buggered then .#bbcqt
  • 23:13:02: Immigration costs fall on communities and local government, (larger) upside goes to employers /HMT/etc. It's a resourcing issue #bbcqt
  • 23:16:53: NG: "Skin colour's irrelevant" Remainder of pannel "Pull the other one, it has bells on #bbcqt
  • 23:18:44: @gjbm2 Bring back the #spidertie! We've not seen it this series so far #bbcqt
  • 23:23:28: #bbcqt Audience member: ship NG & the BNP to Antarctica. Aren't there international tretaies protecting it from dumping toxic waste there?
  • 23:33:03: RT @cowrin: RT @Spencer_Steel: OK...50 mins unearthing the revelation that the BNP are a bit racist. Now, Boyzone. #bbcqt
  • 23:38:28: @StefanSchafer I'm pretty sure no sane person can survive exposire to more than 147.36 seconds of HYS without serious side effects #bbcqt
  • 23:50:03: #thisweek DA wrong on the #bbcqt question. Inviting them on or not isn't a question of tactical advantage, it's a fundamental principle.
  • 23:55:11: @kcorrick Actually one of their better guests. Certainly an improvement on Kelvin Mac****Kenzie #thisweek

  • 00:10:38: @jjay33 Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggg! <runs for the hills> #thisweek
  • 08:39:13: @ncsaUK Yes, and the racists and facists *count*, those who didn't turn up don't. They got the votes in a fair election, all that matters.
  • 08:39:52: @dorward BNP are lefleting BBC staff? A little optimistic of them.

  • 22:38:21: @brumplum Pouring a pint myself #bbcqt
  • 22:42:06: #bbcqt It's #mpsexpenses again. Can't make out the pattern on DD's pink tie.
  • 22:44:53: @markinreading No. #bbcqt
  • 22:47:59: #bbcqt Sensible man from the audience wants to move on to something more important.
  • 22:48:33: #bbcqt Fortunately, no-one's outfit has broken television this week.
  • 22:51:41: @MatthewEyre Heretic! Blasphemer! Speek not ill of the mighty #spidertie!
  • 22:56:42: @peppiesoho Next week #bbcqt
  • 23:02:14: #bbcqt MP Norman Baker MP is right. The way to fight the BNP is not to ban them but to let the public judge them for their arguments.
  • 23:06:04: @ncsaUK They gained the required legitimacy at the ballot box. Don't like it, but there it is #bbcqt.
  • 23:08:56: @crishawes Don't start that one again, we'll be here all night ;-) #bbcqt
  • 23:09:41: DD Mentions Twitter (Yay!), but not the #bbcqt hastag. (Boo!)
  • 23:14:55: @ncsaUK People not voting caused BNP votes to appear in the ballot box by magic? #bbcqt
  • 23:17:09: @MatthewEyre Paper cuts, presumably? #bbcqt
  • 23:19:19: @MatthewEyre Letter bombs? #bbcqt
  • 23:23:54: @jamesbarlow300 Yes, lock up those drivers of inappropriately parked cars! That'll learn'em #bbcqt
  • 23:27:06: @jamesbarlow300 We can't do hell. It's eternal torment, and we run into issues of budget, healthcare, human rights and entropy. #bbcqt
  • 23:33:30: #bbcqt Westmister security can't stop greens getting on the roof. This could be indicative of the low number of competent terrorists in UK.
  • 23:38:12: The #bbcqt boo-omenter indicates Jaqui Smitt more unpopular than Nick Griffin.
  • 23:41:47: @bbcquestiontime Now all we need is DD to plug it!
  • 23:45:59: #thisweek Why do we have Kelvin MacKenzie on?
  • 23:51:51: #thisweek. Are the rules retrospective? Why is everything 'retrospective'? What the hell's wrong with 'retroactive'?

  • 22:36:13: @markinreading Quick, sound the alarm, someone scramble the emergency #bbcqt team!
  • 22:40:31: Time for our weekly dose of #bbcqt, and DD's gone with a two-tone green tie with purple bits. trying to make out pattern. We want #spidertie
  • 22:42:07: @Judley Glad it's not just my TV setup, the jacket is making my eyes hurt. #bbcqt
  • 22:47:28: #bbcqt Tether's argument is "He wants to fix [foo] but didn't mention [way *WE* want to fix foo]. Not totally convincing.
  • 22:50:51: @cardiff_blogger Don't be daft, who'd clean up the mess? #bbcqt
  • 22:53:26: #bbcqt Hislop's on fire on the pay freeze issue (metaphorically, not literally)
  • 22:55:52: @Averyps Invest what? #bbcqt
  • 22:58:55: #bbcqt Osborne attacking LDs for Teather complaining at pay freeze while St. Vince says cuts don't go far enough.
  • 23:02:54: #bbcqt Why have we got a guest on the pannel that wants to stay out of politics? Is he just ther as a human-form test card.
  • 23:06:02: @mel_haslam Shareholders? #bbcqt
  • 23:11:54: @kiramadeira Errr, he was pointing out that making vague attacks on people based on advantage from family members cuts both ways #bbcqt
  • 23:33:44: @timrollpickerin Your name is basically what you call yourself, she doesn't call herself Balls, so it isn't her name. #bbcqt
  • 23:37:08: @timrollpickerin Unless she supplies approrpriate supporting paperwork, I'd hope not. goes against all sorts of anti money laundering #bbcqt
  • 23:41:31: @thegreatgar #bbcqt not fit to govern? Pah! Hand over the keys to whitehall to the #bbcwtwitterati and watch the economy turn itself around!
  • 23:43:00: @Hardyduncan But how could he follow DD's magnificent #bbcqt collection? they can't both have the #spidertie. #thisweek

  • 22:37:55: @dorward An improbably number? Has Arthur started playing with the drive again?
  • 22:39:54: We're up and running with this week's #bbcqt, and DD has giant flowers on his tie
  • 22:42:18: #bbcqt Teh Sun doesn't matter because of the blogosphere and twitter? Hmmmmm....
  • 22:44:16: #bbcqt @thedaytoday2day The inevitable result of which would be that they started pandering to left wing populism.
  • 22:45:09: #bbcqt Ooooh, DD gets a bit shirty with Bradshaw over the accusation that this is just teh media talking about the media.
  • 22:48:45: @markinreading It's a series of tubes #bbcqt
  • 22:52:55: @KerryMP Be fair. DD does tend to pull out pertenant facts he's been issued with every now and again.
  • 22:56:08: @KerryMP Or, apparently, newspapers #bbcqt
  • 23:04:06: #bbcqt Sigh. Bakners Bonuses again. It isn't the size of the incentive, it's what the incentives were for. Need better Risk people.
  • 23:05:31: #bbcqt go tashman! (I honestly couldn't tell you waht he said, I was distracted by the magnificent facial hair)
  • 23:10:26: @thedaytoday2day Pandering to left wing populism is good with the LP's cash sources, who are much needed now.
  • 23:13:35: @pgchamberlin Oh if wishing made it so ;-) #bbcqt
  • 23:19:21: @KerryMP You'd be at it until some time next week ;-) #bbcqt
  • 23:21:13: @averyps Well there has to be something there, or their neighbours borders would start fraying at the edges ;-) #bbcqt
  • 23:26:53: @kiramadeira Nah, that's inbuilt. #bbcqt
  • 23:41:17: #bbcqt Bradshaw was mysteriously ignorant of the facts on Polanski and the background to the Marr/Brown question. Too busy for newspapers.
  • 23:43:16: #bbcqt Still, he's a busy man, and it's not like he has any job-related reason to follow what's in the press...
  • 23:47:30: @michaelomh Pretty sure it happened last time he was on #bbcqt
  • 23:57:40: See, #thisweek can plug Twitter. Now, if only they'd mention the hashtag...
  • 23:59:03: @cheesy_monkey well, she's partially correct, insofar as the marginal rate of effective tax on the low paid is a problem #ThisWeek

  • 22:36:01: The beer is poured, the pizza is on order, @markinreading is tweeting like a crazy man, it can mean only one thing: the return of #bbcqt
  • 22:39:36: #bbcqt Dimbleby kicks off the new season with an insect pattern tie I don't recognise. Presumably he keeps it well away from the #spidertie
  • 22:41:50: @timsculthorpe There's a whole host of insects (I'm seeing dragonflies there amongst others), but its the tie I don't recognise ;-)
  • 22:45:21: @markinreading I think I recognise it. That's the type of camouflage used on WWI era warships #bbcqt
  • 22:52:42: @mjrobbins Hezza's disturbingly good at coming up with surprisingly sensible answers form time to time #bbcqt
  • 22:55:26: #bbcqt Quck, change the subject, the audience is off on West Lothian
  • 22:57:44: #bbcqt Baroness Scotland. Largely blameless as an employer, heavily at fault as a legislator.
  • 23:00:17: @mathewhulbert I think he has one of those faces #bbcqt
  • 23:20:28: @timwhale I think it might be a chair #bbcqt
  • 23:24:45: @RayyanMirza The HYS posters are people? I thought it was BBC R&D trying to build a system to pass the Turing Test?
  • 23:28:27: @RayyanMirza It's the wrong tack to take. The problem isn't that #thebnparetwats (although they are), but that they're wrong.
  • 23:39:26: Bee:; drunk. Pizza box: discarded on the floor. Whiskey: poured. More sensible of the #bbcqtwitterati: now abed. Must be time for #thisweek
  • 23:42:26: @KerryMP Not only are you ignoring them, but everyone else is ignoring them too? ;-) #bbcqt
