BBC and women

I have raised this concern before and have referred to the issue around selecting people to be on BBC programme panels. It just astonishes me that the BBC has a problem finding prominent women to appear on panel shows.

An example of this was Question Time last night. There was a panel of 6 and only one was a woman. Now there is something wrong with the theory that says that more than 50% of people are women yet the BBC is constantly unable to come up with women able to appear on such shows? How are we going to ensure equality if major organisations fail to reflect the composition of the general population? And this is not the first time either!
