Debate Night is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland. It gives you the opportunity to put your questions to the country’s decision-makers and public figures.
We want people from all walks of life. You might be a parent, a carer or a student? Perhaps you run a business or are a frontline worker? Retired, self-employed, unemployed or just starting out in the workplace - we need you.
It’s your questions, stories, experiences and opinions that lead our discussion - so we couldn’t do it without you!
Our panels are a great mix of people. Recent guests to join our politicians include TV stars Patrick Grant and Jane McCarry from Still Game, authors Val McDermid and A.L. Kennedy, columnists Owen Jones and Ayesha Hazarika, musicians Ricky Ross and Sandi Thom, comedians Karen Dunbar and Jo Caulfield, Lord Sugar's advisor Mike Soutar from BBC The Apprentice and former Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Piers Linney.
