Read our privacy policy Fiona Bruce has revealed that she regrets not shutting down John Rhys-Davies on Question Time, after the Lord of the Rings star lost his temper with Green Party MP Caroline Lucas. “I don’t like it when passion edges into nastiness and there was a lot of nastiness around Brexit in particular, a lot of division and fear.” “I remember more strongly the time we had another actor on and he addressed Caroline Lucas as ‘woman’.” Bruce said that, at the time, she thought she should shut Rhys-Davies down and explain that guests were expected to conduct themselves a certain way. Bruce took over from David Dimbleby on Question Time in 2019, becoming the show’s first-ever female host.
