Trying to hear from mark in belfast. We asked bbc news for someone to come on the programme to discuss those questions but our request was declined. Instead we are joined by two viewers who contacted us this week. With me here in the studio is neville bletsch and in a cambridge studio is philip howes, a member of the conservative party who stood this year for election to the local council. Gentlemen, welcome to you both. Philip howes, because you are a member of the conservative party, you are one of the few people who can actually vote on who our next Prime Minister will be so i wondered how much did the programme help you make up your mind . It didnt really add to my knowledge of them because perhaps when you know about them before, the programme seemed so awkward. It was sitting on bar stools as if they were entering a pub quiz. No Live Audience. Emily maitlis was to one side of the stage and i think she should have been in the middle, facing them, eyeballing each candidate equally. It was quite a strange set up. I wondered if it was fair on the candidates. You raise some very interesting points. Neville blech, what did you think of the programme . Its difficult to fathom out what the answers were that the candidates were given because they didnt have enough time apart from being constantly interrupted by emily maitlis, particularly she seemed to have it in for borisjohnson. Wasnt that because it was the first time that he had been under any kind of public scrutiny . Would you accept that . I dont think that makes any difference whatsoever. What did you learn about the candidates different policies . Not a lot because there wasnt time for them to expand on them. The bbc has given us a statement about the programme and told us. Philip, more than 5 Million People watched this programme. How satisfied are you with that response from the bbc . Not really because ive highlighted more than a few examples of things that were not even mentioned, immigration, a driving factor in the result of the referendum, and also business was only mentioned byjeremy hunt once and its going to be the driving factor for the prosperity of our country and no mention about what they are going to do with business rates. Limited information about the increase in public spending and no mention of the truly terrible levels of Mental Health care in the National Health service. The whole series of things that would interest the whole country, notjust london, perhaps these things were not raised because we were restricted to those questions from people, i dont know how they were chosen, its since been shown that at least two of them were on the dodgy side. Neville blech, what did you think of the choice of questions that were selected and put to the candidates . As philip has said, not wide ranging enough and also i felt that emily was more concentrating on the candidates past misdemeanours, so called misdemeanours, than what they are going to propose for the country in the future. Philip, you mentioned two of the questions. I want to put a statement to you from the bbc, it said. Do you accept that the bbc went through a vetting process and at the time the members of the public managed to avoid it and what more could bbc have done . I dont know how they go about fighting but when youve got an individual, i think he was from bristol, who questioning the misdemeanours of a politician of politicians who lead a very public life and scrutinise on everything they do and he is guilty of the same misdemeanours, its shocking it wasnt picked up. That went on . I entirely agree with philip, it just seems ludicrous that they should have somebody accusing borisjohnson in effect of the same kind of hate thought that he has professed to have done himself. It would just seem to me. 0k, whatever you think of boris johnson, at worst he may be flippant. Philip, what difference do you think a studio audience might have made to the programme . I think it would have had an immediacy to it, i think people would have probably been shouting from the floor but its down to the chairperson to control the audience and the candidates but you could have got a slightly different angle when somebody is rambling on a little bit, and borisjohnson and other, michael gove particularly, they are masters of the english language but they sometimes abuse it and as we have seen, we want pertinent, relevant answers to questions raised and that could be from a Live Audience or from the chairperson. But of course, at the end of the day, isnt it the responsibility of the politicians not to speak over each other and allow each other to make their points . Absolutely, and they need to understand sitting at home we cannot hear what they are saying when they are all talking together. Philip and neville, thank you both very much indeed forjoining us. Sundays late News Programme on bbc i told us the days cricket match between india and pakistan had attracted a Global Television audience of more than i billion people. That figure has been disputed but there was no denying the passion and the noise shown by supporters of both teams. Some of them made their presence felt during the report on the game from andy swiss. All the anticipation, the result is pretty much one sided. But for these india fans. Cheering and chanting before we go, the latest in our occasional series of technical mishaps on bbc news. Not for the first time, simon mccoy was involved presenting afternoon live on monday when this happens. Bbc news theme plays sniggers very good afternoon, i think its still afternoon.

Thats all from us. Samira will be back to hear your thoughts bbc News Coverage next week. From me, though, thanks for watching and bye bye. Hello there. Things are warming up this weekend right across the board. Itll certainly be noticeable across southern areas, where the humidity will also gradually increase, and into next week, certainly late on sunday, the threat of thundery showers increases as well. For the weekend, fine for most of us. Lots of dry weather around. We start this morning on a cool note outside town. The Single Digits in one or two places. The pressure chart reveals high pressure. This will be the driving force for the fine weather, certainly for the first half of the weekend, but this low pressure system will come into play later across the south west. Lots of sunshine up and down the country this morning, into the afternoon, cloud will tend to build up in places. Could see an isolated shower pretty much anywhere, but northern scotland will see a scattering of showers, i think, through the morning and into the afternoon. Temperatures higher than we have seen over the last few days. High 20s for england and wales. 19 or 20 in the central belt of scotland. Into saturday evening and saturday night, most places will stay dry. Maybe still a few showers across the far north of scotland. We could see clouds just building up across the very far west of the country. Notice the temperatures, they are starting to import warmer and more humid air. Double figure values for all. A warmer start to the day on sunday. Plenty of sunshine around and still a few showers across the northern isles. Then this weather front starts to push in across wales and the south west of england later in the day, to bring outbreaks of rain. To the north and east it should stay dry, feeling even warmer, 2a 25 across the south east, high teens further north. This is the pressure chart as we head through sunday night. High pressure Still Holding on across the north of the country, with this low pressure and its warmer front continuing to move north and east. The rain will pop up across southern and Western Areas late on sunday. During sunday night and into the early hours of monday, there is the potential of some really heavy and thundery rain moving north. Hit and miss, torrential downpours, some areas could see the risk of some surface water flooding. It will turn warm and muggy by the end of the night across southern areas. Monday, heavy and thundery rain spilling its way slowly northwards, attracting much of scotland. The very far north of england as well. Further south the sunshine could come out, but that could spark off further thundery showers, were really importing warmer humid air during monday afternoon and we could see the high 20 celsius in the south. Still fairly warm in the north, despite all the rain. As we head through much of next week it stays warm, even hot, in southern areas. With the high humidity, thundery showers are likely to continue to be a risk. There are warnings in force for this, so head to the website to check those out.
