A POPULAR political debate programme is coming to Colchester - and you could be in the audience.

The BBC's Question Time will be broadcast from Colchester Town Hall on November 23.

Residents can apply to be part of the audience, and there are about 100 seats.

Presenter David Dimbleby said: "I am very much looking forward to bringing Question Time to Colchester. What really matters is that we have a lively audience who want to speak their mind.

"It’s a chance for Colchester to get its voice heard not just by politicians but right across the UK.”

Question Time hears from a range of voices and always has representation from the government of the day and the official opposition party, as well as representatives from other political parties.

The rest of the panel is made-up of political commentators and well-known public figures.

The show is on BBC One on Thursdays at 10:45pm.
