It's a simple question. Do you believe that David Dimbleby personally chooses the question time audience and the questions that are put to the panel?0

Please stop being obtuse. The panel and the audience are both chosen by the BBC. No one has suggested otherwise.0 -

I'm not being obtuse. I'm asking sampong to clarify a comment he/she made earlier in the thread.
Just because the person was a labour activist does not mean that David Dimbleby is part of a left wing plot to unseat the government by secretly letting labour activists ask questions on question time.
But the sampong thinks steviej and I are the same person as we both used the word 'seriously' so there may be some kind of paranoia at the heart of this...0 -

.
It would be revealing to know whether anyone in the BBC's production team had been tipped-off who she was and what she might say. Or, indeed, how she became a member of the audience. There have been suggestions in the political blogosphere this week that the former may have been the case.
Of course, even if it were true, it wouldn't implicate Dimbleby personally.
The BBC, on the other hand, has previous, as any fule kno.0
