THERE'S a chance to pick the brains of some of the country's leading politicians in Colne on Friday.

The Radio Four programme Any Questions will be broadcast live from the town's Municipal Hall.

The audience will be invited to put questions to a panel including SNP leader Alex Salmond, former Welsh Secretary Ron Davies, Tory leader for Maidenhead Teresa May MP and President of the Liberal Democrats, Baroness Diana Maddock.

Most of the free tickets have gone but anyone interested in voicing their opinions on national radio should turn up to the Municipal Hall between 6.45pm and 7.15pm on Friday.

The show, chaired by Nick Clarke, will be broadcast live at 8.02pm and will be repeated at 1.15pm on Saturday.
