Q&A is about democracy in action –the audience asks the questions.
It doesn't matter who you are, or where you're from - everyone can have a go and take it up to our politicians and opinion makers.
Q&A is live to air - happening as viewers watch – and it’s all about encouraging people to engage with politics and society.
