Question Time is back, and being discussed on Twitter. Very fun it was too, my first live tweeting.

Matt Wardman and I were playing the new “Interruptions Count” game, for which the rules are simple:

The loser of any discussion is the one who interrupts their co-interviewees the most.

The results of my viewing last night is as follows:

And the winner is: David Dimbleby! He scored 12 interruptions and 7 attempted interruptions.

He constantly interrupted the panel and got in the way of debate (or rather “debate”).

Close behind in second place: David Starkey. He interrupted 8 times and attempted to do so another 8.

He managed to offend almost as many people as possible and made himself look some kind of rabid gnome with a penchant for velvet knickbokers (don’t ask).

Getting the bronze medal: John Denham, the orange man. He made 4 interruptions and made another 4 attempts.

He roundly failed to get any real applause and generally appeared out of his depth.

Fourth: Philip Hammond, with 3 interruptions and 2 attempts.

He was pretty ineffective, but made a few good points nevertheless.#

Fifth: Claire Fox – 2 interruptions and 2 attempts.

Last and definitely least: Vince Cable. He scored zero on both ratios.

He was boring and rather creepy looking – a bit like a cross between Nosterfatu and a zombie. Either that or he’s had Botox treatment.

Special mention: Goes to the audience for a few nice satirical laughs and groans.
