Senior figures from Northern Ireland's political parties have clashed over Brexit and representation at Westminster just days before voters are due to go to the polls.
Although billed as a leaders' debate, DUP Lagan Valley candidate Jeffrey Donaldson appeared on the BBC NI show instead of his party leader Arlene Foster.
Sinn Féin was represented by its Northern leader Michelle O'Neill, alongside SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, UUP leader Steve Aiken and Alliance Party leader Naomi Long.
The first question put to the five politicians by a member of the audience was: "Do you believe Brexit makes a united Ireland more likely?".
Mr Eastwood said he believes the first thing to be dealt with is "the emergency that is Brexit", and called for a second referendum to "stop this Brexit madness".
Mr Donaldson slated "poor negotiation" on Brexit by the UK government, and restated his party's opposition to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's proposed deal.
"My message to unionists is to send a strong unionist team back to Westminster, that's what unionists want," he said, emphasising that his party has been "crucial on Brexit".
Ms O'Neill responded saying Brexit may make people rethink their stance on a united Ireland, if leaving the UK would mean re-entering the EU.
Ms Long said she believes Brexit has "certainly made Northern Ireland less stable".
Mr Aiken said Mr Johnson's deal makes Northern Ireland "a place apart", and called for the proposals to be stopped.
Several of the leaders rounded on Ms O'Neill over Sinn Féin's policy of not taking their seats at Westminster.
She insisted "one or two Irish MPs won't make a difference", in response to criticism by Mr Eastwood and Mr Aiken.
Mr Aiken put to Ms O'Neill that her MPs in the last parliament were often seen sitting in coffee shops and questioned, "why not take your seats on the green benches"?
"You are pretending you can go to Westminster and stop Brexit, that is nonsense," Ms O'Neill replied.
The SDLP leader, who is running in Foyle, restated that if elected he will take his seat in Westminster.
Ms Long also pressed Ms O'Neill over abstentionism.
Ms O'Neill responded saying her MPs will never take an oath of allegiance to the Queen.
The politicians also responded to a question from the audience about whether a direct-rule health minister should be installed to deal with the ongoing crisis in the health service in Northern Ireland.
Mr Donaldson said "huge decisions need to be taken in NI", adding he sees the impact on people suffering while waiting for treatment.
"We need the assembly back and we need it back today," he said.
However, he went on to say if the talks to revive Stormont, due to start on Monday, do not result in agreement by the 13 January deadline, then direct rule should be considered.
"I think we have to look at handing it back to Westminster where people like me will be there to argue for Northern Ireland," he said.
Ms O'Neill said direct rule is "not an option".
"We can never go backwards, we can only go forwards," she said, calling for a "very substantial" financial injection from Westminster, claiming the health service is "on its knees due to Tory austerity".
Mr Aiken said there is now a "health emergency".
"The time has gone for faffing around... let's get someone in place to make the political decisions now," he added.
Ms Long pointed out there is also a "crisis in education" and a "crisis in infrastructure".
"Do I want to see direct rule? No I don't, because I think it is a failure of devolution," she said, however she said if agreement is not reached by the 13 January deadline, the Secretary of State needs to find "a form of government that actually can work" or call another election.
Mr Eastwood said no to direct rule, stating he wants to see Stormont back.
At the last General Election in 2017, Northern Ireland returned 10 DUP MPs, seven from Sinn Féin and one independent, Sylvia Hermon, who is not standing again.
This year, the smaller parties are hoping to break through with close races expected in a number of constituencies.
