Jan Klimkowski Wrote:Question Time as a TV programme didn't start until September 1979.

It was originally produced in-house by BBC News & Current Affairs. In the 1990s, the BBC signed up to a 25% "production quota" from outside production companies. At some time during this period, Question Time was moved to Mentorn, or its predecessor company - I can't remember.

You're right, Jan, and I was wrong: Quite why the Beeb handed the programme to that obnoxious sex-pest Robin Day is unclear to me. His manner with the general public was as repulsive as that with women in private.

What I suspect I was thinking of was a series of BBC Question Time-like programmes which took place in 1975 in the run-up to the referendum on EEC membership. Harold Wilson gave us a vote, MI6 promptly rigged it, not least by planting officers and assets in studio audiences. The BBC was entirely complicit in the propaganda campaign. When I recall the source for MI6's efforts, I'll post it.
