Question Time protest fails to take off | Media Monkey

"And now, a question from the chap running towards the stage bellowing something about a budget airline ..." BBC1's Question Time was interrupted last night by a protester rushing the platform unfurling a banner complaining about Ryanair. It is the first time in the show's 32-year history that it has suffered such an invasion. Unfortunately for the chap ? or at least his efforts to make it on air ? the programme is recorded in advance so viewers were none the wiser. He did kick over a few of the letters spelling "Liverpool" ? the location of last night's show ? necessitating a minor tidy-up by production staff. Presenter David Dimbleby told the audience: "People sometimes ask why we record the programme half an hour before it's broadcast" If Dimbleby doesn't sign a new contract soon, a future edition may be interrupted by a BBC high-up waving a pen and a dotted line.
