MPs accuse BBC of stage-managing Question Time onslaught

[newspresenter]

Last night it emerged that:

• Complaintsthat the show was biased against Mr Griffin outnumbered by more than two to one those about him being allowed to appear;
• Someof the audience appear to have been rushed through the vetting process in a bid to emphasise the multi-cultural nature of London;
• Audience members were briefed to ask 'provocative' questions and host David Dimbleby told them it was acceptable to boo;
• More than eight million people tuned in - four times the usual audience and more than watched Strictly Come Dancing last week;
• The BNP boasted that since Mr Griffin's appearance, 3,000 people had registered to sign up as members;
• Joel Weiner, 17, who dramatically confronted Mr Griffin about Holocaust denial, said he applied to attend a Question Time programme more than a year ago, but was approached just 24 hours before filming.
