But as the BBC Producer and team on AA try to game things their way, potential contributors determined to have their say will learn how to respond and get around the obstacles. Similarly when Jonathon Dimbleby states "The Panel have no advance knowledge of the questions tonight." one of his colleagues will be so uncomfortable about that that when they caretake the programme (when he is on holiday leave) they may drop a hint that that particular statement may not be wholly true. Once or twice, Panel members have also been known to let slip news of the previous 'Green Room' or mealtime discussions during the programme itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-75349015332504608472015-12-13T20:46:08.562+00:002015-12-13T20:46:08.562+00:00I was listening to Any Answers as it was happening...I was listening to Any Answers as it was happening. I was wondering what the producers thought Neil was phoning in about because I still cannot believe they anticipated the call they got. And Anita cannot cope with the unexpected, her voice rises several octaves, she then talks faster and will say anything to try to close down the discussion and move on to a more acceptable point of view.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223253889086419817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-35409430432856008702015-12-13T19:08:07.684+00:002015-12-13T19:08:07.684+00:00Of course, this is just one brief moment in the da...Of course, this is just one brief moment in the day of BBC broadcasting over about a dozen channels and thousands of hours of journalism. Not every BBC broadcast has to provide full balance on everything, and we must consider the overall output of the BBC on a given issue in the long term before judging balance.
