A BBC Scotland political debate show is looking for audience members for a Burns Night special in Edinburgh. Debate Night will be returning after a winter break to film the first episode of its eight week tour in the Capital on Wednesday, January 25.

Producers are looking to meet locals to take part in the show, which gives the public the opportunity to put questions to the country’s decision-makers and public figures. They are looking for people from “all walks of life”, from parents to students, business owners to frontline workers and unemployed people to retired folk.
