Unfair, plenty didn't agree with the spamheads. Thank heavens for that young woman :)
I'm watching The Story of 1984 on BBC4 and reading Twitter reactions. Two Tribes was on at the time...

Searching "nuclear audience" on Twitter isn't exactly flattering. And some professional arsewits have already zeroed in on this so-called "weakness" for Corbyn.

Tim Shipman @ShippersUnbound
Verdict: May had more awkward moments on care and public services but Corbyn had the worst moment on military matters. But no game changer

Laura's already managed a sin of omission on nuclear weapons, and it's the only screen headline in BBC coverage of the spin room.

So that's the takeout then. Front pages to look forward to now.

No game changer tho plenty to fuel supporters passion. May less robotic than before. Corbyn survives attempts to claim he's extreme #bbcqt

Theresa May to nurse who says she hasn't had a pay rise in eight years: 'There's no magic money tree'
NHS pay has not risen in line with inflation

Andrew Sparrow:
Journalists are always on the look-out for the “killer blow” at events like this, but they are as rare as a unicorn and there certainly wasn’t one tonight. For my money, Corbyn had the better night (assuming people care more about public services than the nuclear deterrent), and if the programme attracted people who have not noticed how much he has improved in recent weeks, they will have been impressed. May was solid, and it is customary for PMs on programmes like this to face hostile questions about public services. May put up with this with good grace, but said little to enthuse wavering voters.

I don't think May likes voters. Better performance this outing but struggling to defend the Con Party's record #BBCQT

Tory spokesman on QT:
Jeremy Corbyn wilted under pressure – he waffled on and on in meaningless soundbites without offering anything of substance.
It's like they're taking the piss out of themselves.
Either that or they think we're pretty dumb.
