Scotland Decides: The Big, Big Debate
''Scotland Decides: The Big, Big Debate'' is a one-off British television programme broadcast by the BBC on 11 September 2014, a week prior to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. The 60-minute show was recorded at Glasgow's SSE Hydro during the afternoon prior to transmission. It was presented by Scottish journalist James Cook before an audience of about 7,500 16- and 17-year-olds, first-time voters on the day of the referendum, some of whom were invited to quiz a panel of prominent politicians from both the Yes and No campaigns.
The audience included representatives from every secondary school in Scotland, while the panel was made up of Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Scottish Green Party leader Patrick Harvie from the Yes campaign, and Scottish Conservative Party leader Ruth Davidson and Respect Party politician George Galloway representing the No campaign.
==Background==
Plans for a televised debate featuring an audience of Scotland's first-time voters were announced on 23 June, with BBC Scotland describing it as the UK's largest ever political debate involving an audience of 7,500. The 16 and 17-year-olds, who would be able to cast their vote for the first time at the forthcoming referendum, would be invited to the SSE Hydro, an arena in Glasgow, where they would have the opportunity to question a panel of senior politicians about Scottish independence. The panel's line-up would be confirmed at a later date. John Boothman, BBC Scotland's Head of News and Current Affairs, said "We are proud to bring the nation's young people together to hear the arguments that will determine the future of the country."
The panellists were confirmed on 11 September, but the show attracted controversy in the days preceding that announcement after a spokesman for George Galloway claimed that plans for the Respect MP, who then represented the English constituency of Bradford West, to appear as a representative for the No campaign had been vetoed by senior BBC management as they wanted only Scottish-based politicians. The BBC rejected suggestions that such a decision had been made,〔 and Galloway would go on to be one of the show's four panellists.
