Friday evenings of the year following the 8pm news. The programme is repeated on Saturday lunchtimes at 1.10pm, and is followed at 2pm by the Any Answers? phone-in which gives listeners a chance to join in the debate by calling or e-mailing Anita Anand.  Currently, around 1.6 million people listen to Any Questions? each week, the majority of them hearing the Saturday lunchtime repeat.
