How is the Question Time audience chosen?

The audience on BBC One’s Question Time is as much the star of the show as the panellists. Every week the production team assembles a group of 150 members of the public who reflect the political make-up of the UK.

To find out how they do it, Adam Fleming meets David Dimbleby as he prepares to face one of his biggest crowds ever at the BBC’s Great Debate at the SSE Arena, Wembley.

This film is part of a series of four looking at how the BBC handles its coverage of the EU referendum, with the aim of achieving impartiality and balance.
