Let's not have Question Time in the States again

Last night's show from Washington DC was unpleasant to watch. Firstly,
all the questions were about America. Well, I'm interested up to a
point, but I'd rather listen to debates about matters pertaining to
Britain among politicians and pundits I know. I've never heard of most
of the panelists. And these panel members were far more argumentative
among themselves than on typical British panels. Also, the audience
was far less well behaved - the one imigrant who wouldn't stop
speaking, crikey, put a sock in it, love! You said you couldn't speak
English too well, then you go off on one long rant for five minutes!
Dimbleby looked worn out by the end, for which I was truly thankful
(for the end, not that he was stressed; I think he's not a bad old
stick as BBC presenters go). But what is it with Simon Shama, the way
he waves not only his arms about, but his whole body and head. Is he
suffering from Tourette's, or something? He is exhausting to watch.
Very dismal all in all. I switched off during the last question.
