Question Time is as stoic a British institution as red letterboxes. Having graced the BBC for more than 40 years, presenters have come and gone, but the format has remained resolutely familiar: a weekly forum in which a studio audience scrutinizes a panel of those in power. But that was until coronavirus came along.

Question Time will be held at Heathrow Airport later this month.
The BBC One debate show will travel to the newly rebuilt Terminal 2: The Queen's Terminal on May 29.
The new terminal does not open to the public officially until June 4, but Question Time will be broadcast from the departures area.
The panel of guests joining host David Dimbleby has not yet been announced.
"The new Heathrow Terminal 2 will be a spectacular setting for Question Time," the show's editor Nicolai Gentchev said. "After recent programmes from historic locations such as St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Hall in Parliament, we are looking forward to going to a huge workplace through which millions of people will travel.
"Whether we are in Wormwood Scrubs prison, Winchester Cathedral, or in theatres, schools or community halls, we will continue to take Question Time and its audience to diverse places that reflect the range of debate on the programme.
