Jack Seale

Jake Humphrey – serving out his notice before he leaves the Beeb to front BT Vision’s football coverage in January – is in Reading for the young person’s Question Time. Immigration is the topic and might be one where the youthful audience’s relative lack of entrenched prejudice gives the show a chance to shine. Also boosting it is BBC3 newsreader Sam Naz, who takes over the previously stilted interludes when viewers’ comments are read out off an iPad and contributors are given updated approval ratings.

On the panel are singer Kate Nash and Stacey Dooley, whose excellent documentaries have taken her all round the globe.
