Be in the audience for BBC Scotland's Debate Night political discussion show in Dumfries
Former Dumfries Academy pupil Stephen Jardine will be returning to his hometown for the recording next week.
People in Dumfries and Galloway are being offered the chance to be in the audience for BBC Scotland's Debate Night.
The political TV discussion show will be recording an episode in Dumfries on Wednesday, May 21.
And presenting the show will be journalist and former Dumfries Academy pupil Stephen Jardine.
Debate night is the only television programme of its kind in Scotland, giving people the chance to put their question's to the country's decision-makers and public figures.
The producers want people from all walks of life – including parents, carers, students, business owners, frontline workers, retired and the unemployed.
Previous panellists have included still game stars Patrick Grant and Jane McCarry, musicians Ricky Ross and Stuart Murdoch and comedians Karen Dunbar and Susie McCabe.
When the show visited Dumfries last autumn, guests included local MSPs Oliver Mundell and Colin Smyth as well as Scottish Lib Dem leader Alex Cole-Hamilton.

The programme is shown on the BBC Scotland channel every Wednesday at 9pm and again on BBC One Scotland at 10.40pm.
