The programme will be broadcast from St James, pictured top. It starts at 20:00 and lasts about 50 minutes.

Any Questions? was first broadcast in 1948. It has been on Radio 4 since 1970. Since 2019, it has been presented by Chris Mason.
Tonight is not the first time that the island’s most senior politician has appeared on Any Questions? In May 2020, Deputy Ferbrache’s predecessor, Deputy Gavin St Pier, was on the panel when the programme was broadcast from London.

Looking ahead to its hosting of Any Questions?, St James said: “The programme travels throughout the UK, and occasionally Europe, at the invitation of local organisations. The audience submits questions on the day of the broadcast and these are then sifted by the producer who selects 10 questions across a range of subjects. Normally, four to six of them are included in the actual broadcast.
“One of the stringent and unchanging rules of Any Questions? is that the panel never sees the questions in advance. The panellists hear them for the first time at the same moment the audience in the hall and at home does.”
Any Questions? is repeated on Saturday lunchtimes at 13:10 and is followed at 14:00 by Any Answers?, a phone-in which gives listeners a chance to join in the debate by calling or e-mailing presenter Anita Anand.
