One will be filmed in Easterhouse in Glasgow on Wednesday, March 23, and another in Stirling will take place on Wednesday, March 30.

Last week’s episode featuring songwriter Ricky Ross, Roz Foyer from STUC, Mairi Spowage from Fraser of Allander Institute, Neil Gray MSP and Maurice Golden MSP is available to watch via BBC iPlayer here.

Speaking about the programme, host Stephen Jardine said: "Debate Night is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland that gives you the opportunity to put your questions to some of the country’s key decision-makers and public figures.

"Perhaps you run a business or are a frontline worker? You might be a parent, a carer or a student? Are you retired, self-employed or just starting out in the workplace?

"It’s your questions, stories, experiences and opinions that lead our discussion – so we couldn’t do it without you!"

BBC Scotland Debate Night airs every Wednesday from 10:30pm onwards on the channel, and can be watched on catchup later on BBC iPlayer.
