Got any questions?
3:38pm Wednesday 7th February 2001
Radio 4 is bringing its legendary inquisitorial programme Any Questions to Hampstead Garden Suburb four years after first being invited.
Former "Gang of Four" member Shirley Williams and Rhodri Morgan, Labour leader of the Welsh Assembly, are likely to be among the panellists under the watchful eye of Jonathan Dimbleby.
The programme will be broadcast live from the Free Church in Central Square on April 20 before an audience of Suburb residents. The invitation was the brainchild of the residents' association.
"We invited them about four years ago and we're delighted that they are coming to the suburb," said chairman Richard Wakefield.
Producers will be taking questions for the event nearer the time. Tickets for the broadcast are free on a first come, first served basis. For bookings, contact the Residents' Association Events Committee, Garden Suburb Gallery, 16 Arcade House, Hampstead Way, NW11 7TL.
