The Morecambe Winter Gardens played host to a live broadcast of BBC Radio 4 panel show 'Any Questions?'

An audience watched as panel of personalities from the worlds of politics, media and elsewhere took questions in a live programme hosted by Alex Forsyth.

They answered questions on topics including the government's Levelling Up policy, the UK's transport situation, Morecambe Bay Foodbank and Brexit.

Popular BBC Radio Lancashire presenter John 'Gilly' Gillmore (pictured below) warmed up the audience before the live show.

The show went out live on BBC Radio 4 at 8pm on Friday night, August 19, and is repeated today (August 20) at 1.10pm.
