Season 4 of BBC Scotland's Debate Night with Stephen Jardine starts up again next week across cities in Scotland including Edinburgh and Glasgow.

BBC Scotland's TV programme Debate Night is filming season 4 in cities across Scotland and is in search of locals to join in with two shows scheduled for Edinburgh.

The programme gives members of the public the opportunity to put their questions to some of the country’s key decision-makers and public figures.
