Episode Discussion

Quite a few issues with this;

1. There was never enough time to have a debate on a single issue as it was a load of shout... sorry, cutting to the break *
2.
As always, panelists would divert a question they didn't want to answer by explaining something else (not the fault of the host though)
3. Audience members heckling, plus panelists bringing it up (which indeed, should be addressed, but removed time from the actual debates)
4. 60 minutes (closer to 40 minutes of actual content due to adverts) was never enough time to discuss one side of this topic, let alone have a debate on it

* Multiple times the host said, "we'll get back to that later" even though they'd move onto another point after the break

To sum up, it was a complete mess, rather than the actual debate which, in my opinion is needed.
