IN a shock move from the BBC, Scottish independence views were represented on Question Time from Dundee last night but all viewers could talk about was a mysterious stain on columnist Alex Massie's jacket.
The Scotland editor of The Spectator has a brown stain on his suit and Twitter users were divided over whether it was coffee, gravy or brown sauce.
Here are the best responses:

Is that a gravy stain on his lapel? 🤫 #bbcqt

Shocking tie skills and if I was going on TV I would make sure I didn’t have a brown sauce stain on my suit under my button hole #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/WX8wge1KVW

Anybody watching bbcqt thinking Alex Massie looks boggin? His suit has a huge stain, greasy hair, and his hands are filthy and in desperate need of being scrubbed with a nail brush.

Hi @bbcquestiontime did no one check Alex Massie and his wardrobe before letting him on TV? That brown stain on his left lapel is a tad distracting

#bbcqt I’d take what this Alex Massie guy was saying a lot more seriously if he didn’t have a pot noodle stain on his lapel.

#bbcqt I can't concentrate on what Alex Massie is saying; I keep wondering how he got that brown stain on his lapel.

#bbcqt has Alex Massie got a gravy stain on his lapel and, is it just me, or is the pattern on his suit strobing all over the place?

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
