BBC TV News Channel debate

Watching the BBC TV News Channel debate, live from Newquay, with candidates Stephen Gilbert, Caroline Righton, Clive Medway and Dick Cole - if Laurence Reed was there it would be an exact re-run of the BBC Radio Cornwall gig at the Eden Project last night.

Strange to see the candidates with lots of make-up, although the effect was lost when the lights failed five minutes in. Then the lights came back and Dick got the first round of applause with a call to tax the rich.

To me, the audience seems rather more docile than those we've encountered at the radio events - but make a point of listening this week and judge for yourself. Tomorrow we transmit the St Austell & Newquay debate, on Thursday it's Truro & Falmouth and Friday it's Camborne & Redruth - all at 12 noon.
