I might be inclined to believe this statement from Question Time, were it not for the fact that both they and the BBC have a history of lying to cover their own backsides whenever there's controversy about the programme.
For example, David Dimbleby infamously said "Question Time doesn't follow by-elections."
They had in fact done four by-election editions since 2012.
Stoke-on-Trent (2017), Corby (2012), Eastleigh (2013), and er, Clacton (2014).
