  You are, of course, quite correct in one respect Howard - it is a fruitless task watching Question time if one were to watch to glean anything significant in terms of how things stand in the world but on another level it's required viewing in order to find where the parties stand on various issues. Not that it's impossible to know the state of play on their views without this programme but bad television can be somehow weirdly enticing.
  For example the Jools Holland show. I sometimes tune in to reinforce my view on how bad most of the turns on that show really are. Most of them are awful but, as usual and is the case in Question time, the audience seem to lap up the rubbish. It validifies my world view that most music featured on the Holland show (and Radio 2 by the way) is as bad as the opinions put forward by most of the panelists on Question time.
  The One show is another example of the infantile production value foisted upon the public which follow a standard format which makes it's easily recognisable as coming from BBC productions.
  Think David Attenboroughs' output or most nature/science drivel and think fluffy, cosy, insulated from reality and vast production budgets. Think of thei BBCs' news output which is sterile to the point that you could eat your dinner off it.
  Question time is an opportunity for folk like Me to reinforce their opinion on how silly and quaint and parochial the current BBC output really is.
