Any Questions?’ is the longest-running, live discussion programme in the UK, broadcasting every Friday from different locations across the country.

Each broadcast includes a panel comprised of individuals from varied fields including politics, media and business who answer questions posed by the live audience.

The radio show was first aired on October 12, 1948, and previous hosts include Freddie Grisewood, David Jacobs, John Timpson, Jonathan Dimbleby and Chris Mason.

Panellists attend without any prior knowledge of the questions that will be asked during the live broadcast.

The programme’s locations are based on invitations received from communities, schools, theatres and other organisations across the UK.
