I watched the debate at the BBC's Millbank studio yesterday, along with Gyles Brandreth, Arlene Phillips and Gurinder Chadha. Our reaction to it was filmed and edited highlights were then included in a six-minute package for BBC1's This Week. You can watch it again here(our segment starts at the 5 min 5 sec point).
