This Week



I spotted some #bbcbias tweets bemoaning the fact that Douglas Murray was on Question Time last night and Tom Holland was on This Week straight after. 

Where were the Islamic scholars?", the twitterers twittered.

If you haven't seen it yet, This Week's discussion of the Islamic State nomenclature row, featuring Tom Holland, Andrew Neil, Michael Portillo and Alastair Campbell, is a much-watch - quite unlike pretty much anything else you'll have ever seen elsewhere on BBC TV....and a million miles away (or more) from the kind of discussion you're ever likely to hear on Radio 4 on a Sunday morning. 

And, yes, there were no Islamic scholars to be seen. Thank Allah.
