Live debate and discussion show Free Speech has been cancelled by BBC Three after four series, host Rick Edwards confirmed on Twitter:
in other news, I'm afraid @BBCFreeSpeech probably won't be on TV again. No more debates for a younger audience. Sorry. Not my decision.

Edwards added that he’s thinking of how to continue to show outside of the BBC:
@matlock they won't let/fund any debates. I'm thinking about how to do it outside of the BBC.
