Ex-BBC star slams unwatchable Question Time – and | UK News

Fiona Bruce has been slammed by an ex-BBC staffer for making its flagship current affairs programme Question Time “unwatchable”. Author Lucy Brazier, who started her profession at the BBC before pursuing a profession in ghostwriting, took to X last evening to fume over Bruce’s “aggressive” method on the show.

She wrote: “It’s called Question Time. The format is supposed to be that the audience ask questions and the panel answers. Fiona is meant to moderate. Week after week, she interrupts, talks over people and aggressively pushes her own agenda. It’s becoming almost unwatchable.”

Other followers chimed in to share their ideas, with one writing: “She made it unwatchable. I gave her a month, it’s sad to hear she hasn’t improved.”

“It hasn’t been watchable for 15 years, even when David Dimbleby was hosting and he behaved in a similar way to what Fiona Bruce is,” another echoed.

Bruce was slammed on the show for “constantly interrupting” Green Party MP Sian Berry as she tried to clarify her social gathering’s stance on NATO.

She started by asking: “The Green Party used to be to come out of NATO. Then I was listening to your leader Zack Polanski, just in January, and he began by saying that Green policy was to reform NATO from within, but he then went on to say, ‘but it can’t be, because of Donald Trump’.

“So step two, as he put it, which is what he was suggesting is where we are now, is to look at an alternative alliance with Europe, Brazil, Mexico, countries from the global south.

“So just translate that for us, that means not going along with NATO if we’re now at step two, as he puts it, and actually forming a different kind of alliance.”

Berry tried to reply: “I mean it is a very very well worked out and pragmatic policy that we have-“ but was cut off by Bruce, who pressed: “But have you described that correctly?”

When Berry said: “We want to keep within NATO, we no longer have a coverage to withdraw unilaterally from NATO. We need to pursue other alliances as properly. This is the same place as the Canadian prime minister-“ she was interrupted again by Bruce, who continued to discuss over her during the fiery phase.
