Last night proved to be a provocative and heated Future Human debate, as we explored the world of Small TV: how apps and other technology are making TV more social and interactive, and allowing new broadcasting players to enter the fray.

This was the central question that played out between our guests on the panel debate – Bill Thompson, head of partnerships at the BBC; Simon Brickle, co-founder and MD of Monterosa; and Nick Brown, chairman of TBC Digital. You’ll be able to listen back to highlights from their nacho-filled discussion on The Future Human Podcast in a couple of months’ time. Thanks to them for a spirited and far-reaching discussion, and to our special guest Gabby Best for appearing on our new interactive TV format Boozenight Review – Gabby is next appearing at this (free!) stand-up night on November 21.

Thanks also to everyone who tweeted in during the evening – here’s a selection of the best via our Storify. Future Human salons will return in 2013…
