    I must admit I was surprised when Dimbleby announced this.

    I couldn't see the point.

    The panel doesn't meet the ages requirement.

    What would people say if they stipulated only a black or white audience.

    Salford? That's a labour safe seat isn't it? Hazel Blears' constituency I believe.

    Will be looking forward to listening to Sadiq Khan

    To the dude that said "They wouldn't do this with a black/white divide" thats because their is no real reason to think that their views would differ wildly.

    To those who haven't seen, neither @timothy_stanley nor @JDBakewell will be on #bbcqt tonight due to transport problems - a panel of three.

    I like under 30s, and I like over 60s, but which one is better? There's only one way to find out!

    They should have pulled a couple of people out of the audience and shoved them on the panel, like Buzzcocks does..........

    Pensioners don't have to have a bus pass if they don't want one.

    Really annoyed that we just have three panelists, don't want to listen to Joan Bakewell's ramblings she sounds so mind numbingly boring

    Also Jeremy Hunt seems like a canoot, but at least I enjoy listening to him

    I really think that basic pensioner benefits are something that shouldn't be means tested. The idea leaves a rather bad taste in my mouth.

    I'm 17, when I reach your age I'm likely to be working for longer for less to pay for your debt? Is this fair or is it the older generation whom hold the political capital acting upon self interest via their vote?

    Clapping answers is irritating enough, but clapping questions is ridiculous.

    He does himself no favours, its obvious spin.

    I am interested to hear what he has to say, as the only narrative ive heard over the NHS atm has been from the left
