I'm 19 and I watch "proper" Question Time so I don't feel I need to be patronised by some kiddy version of it. Dermot O'Leary said himself yesterday in an interview that kids never watch anything that is deliberately aimed at their age group! So why's he doing this?! Urgh ...
My thirteen year old brother saw an advert for it and said "Well that looks patronising"...
I'm sixteen and I watch the regular Question Time and I really don't see that there's a need for a show aimed at eighteen year olds... Plus I can't stand Dermot O'Leary.
I hate it when as soon as programme makers try to make 'yoof' versions of programmes, they always seem to dumb down the music and titles thinking it's 'hip' and thinking were not intelligent enough. :rolleyes:
Not a bad programme either, it came across that the young audience were very interested in politics and issues - but not in the traditional 3 party system.
Funniest bit was Jeremy Hunt getting crossed up during the debate about the future of the BBC and getting hauled over the coals for it. Then a lad in the audience said the Beeb should be privatises and the audience collectively booed!
Huh.. This was basically Question Time with a young audience. I didn't think a first time voter would have learnt anything, it was just a bit of debate. How the hell anyone can call that patronising I don't know
The % of 18 year olds who could have followed most of that are fairly small, I was expecting more 'What would be the differences for young people with each party?' and 'What does Chancellor of the Exchequer mean' and so on
I'm not voting because I would need to revise for a month to have an opinion.
All I learnt that all three major parties are represented by egotystical idiots who care more about 'out-doing' their opponents than actually doing what is best for the people.

Wow - 18 years olds really need this stuff clarifying?! :rolleyes: That's not exactly encouraging in the run up to a general election! Most people I know were aware of 'facts' like that at age 10! :eek:

Funny, my 13 year old daughter more or less said the same thing. If there is a half-term, she would stay up to watch the adult QT and I watch her getting more and more aggitated by some ministers answers (about education and the Iraqi/Afghan invasion). She won't be watching the childrens version of QT as 'she's not stupid' (her words, not mine)

You learnt something useful then
