Hello from the Victoria Hall in Stoke on Trent.

This is where the BBC's hosting the debate between the two candidates to be prime minister

and the show is called our next prime minister.

So we're in this big hall with a huge big organ, like an organ that you play, which is

really nicely lit, and then there's a bank of seats, one, two, three, four, five rows

of people, 25-ish people in each row, and they're all facing the stage, which is kind

of round, and there's two podiums on there for each of the candidates, and then a podium

in the middle where sort of a rear width is going to stand, where she's going to be moderating,

and then over to the side there's a desk with two kind of mastermind-looking chairs with

glasses of water, which is where you find, or you see, Chris Mason, and Faisal is that.

Should we go meet some of the audience?

Hello Sarah, can I just, sorry, I'm just going to, this is like when you're late at the

cinema, you're like, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

Hello, what's your name, sir?

Hello, and my name's Garof, Bissamy.

Yeah, and what brings you here?

Well, I want to hear what our future prime minister has to say, whoever they may be.

I want to hear what they think the big issues are of the day are, and I'd also like to hear

what they're going to do about our public services.

Do you think you'll cheer if you hear something you like?

Don't you'll boo if you hear something you don't?
