There's a surprise. I don't even think TV Burp is at TVC - why would it be for this night only?

As mentioned multiple times in this thread, TV Burp, starting from this series, has moved from Teddington to TVC.

Does News 24 still show Question Time Extra?

BBC ran some clips but it looked like the NC couldn't show them but Sky could. Did the BBC then pull it away until the NC could run it? Sky and BBC NC seem to be in sync.

That looks like what happened. Sky News did quick headlines and where ready to play the clips and the clips started playing out (directly from the BBC at a guess) for a few seconds before being replaced by a holding slide saying 'Question Time Clips'. A few seconds afterwards, the BBC introduced the clips but didn't put anything to air, not even the holding slide and instead went to a live report from Political Correspondent Ross Hawkins who said a sentence or two before being cut off by the clips playing out.

It's certainly not listed tonight.

Radio 5 Live is certainly doing a post Question Time discussion. They're playing the output from BBC1 live as it happens, probably on the basis no-one who was going to listen to them would do so otherwise, and also for those who are unable to get to a tellly.

I would imagine the News Channel will be discussing it comprehensively once it finishes though.

Going by the iPlayer listings, the last one was on the 23rd of July this year.

According to the Guardian, Piers Morgan was due to be recording a programme there tonight too

I suppose it's not all bad then if that programme isn't going ahead.

When David Dimbleby reads out the 0871 at the end of the show, listeners on BBC Radio 5 Live won't know the cost of the call as it is communicated through graphics only.

Lets all get our complaints in to Ofcom in now.
