Last night saw both Russell Brand and UKIP party leader Nigel Farage join the BBC Question Time panel in Canterbury, Kent, and it didn't take long for things to get heated as the audience slammed both the comic and politician.

One audience member slammed Farage as a "racist scumbag" whilst another said that Brand was a "hypocrite" after the comic claimed he was "scared" to stand for Parliament because he'd "become one of them".
Farage pointed fingers over Brand's wealth before the comedian went on to call his rival a "pound shop Enoch Powell".
"As much as I enjoy seeing Nigel Farage in a boozer with a pint and a fag laughing off his latest scandals about breastfeeding or whatever, this man is not a cartoon character.
"He ain't Del Boy, he ain't Arthur Daley. He's a pound shop Enoch Powell and we gotta watch him." said Brand.
He also defended his decision not to vote at elections, saying politicians first had to "give us something to vote for".
Other panellists were Labour's Mary Creagh, Tory MP Penny Mordaunt and Times columnist Camilla Cavendish, one of wish Brand had to apologise to for "sexism" when he called her "love".
Things escalated when the audience erupted into shouting, with a blue-haired woman widely know as Left-wing activist and the organiser of an anti-UKIP group Bunny La Roche, attacking Farage and yelling: "I live in South Thanet and I'm coming for you Farage, don't you bloody worry."
Later when another audience member began to speak, La Roche interrupted once more telling her to "Shut up!" before the woman replied: "Back off! You're the rudest woman I've ever met!"
As things cooled off a little, MP Penny Mourdant claimed: "If I am an MP in the next Parliament when a pay rise comes in I will not take it. In politics we put ourselves up to make decisions for people... We would not have credibility doing that if we were doing something like that.", in reply to one member of the audience who asked: "How come you just got an 11 per cent pay rise when the nurses got none of that?"
Twitter users laughed as the show turned into a "posh Jeremy Kyle", and Labour MP Ian Austin wrote: "The idea we have to pay the license fee for this total and utter garbage. What a farce. What a terrible programme. Just terrible."
Dr Sarah Quinnell added on her own Twitter account: "Is this Question Time or is it in fact Jeremy Kyle? At the end of this with (sic) Dimblebot announce that Farage is Brand's father?"
Celebrities also joined in watching, with Boy George simply declaring it as the "Best Question Time ever!".
