(Yes, WED Yes, No, were the answers if you're interested.) WED As well as these hypothetical questions, the show also WED features a variety of rounds which may include: Audience WED Dilemmas, where the panel 'solve' any problems the audience WED may be having; What Did I Do?, where each panellist relates WED a dilemma they were faced with in their own lives and the WED others have to guess how they resolved it; Why I Was Right, WED where each panellist is given an indefensible action that WED they must morally justify in 30 seconds; Choose Your Own WED Adventure, where the panellists get a series of dilemmas, WED each one following on from the last as they burrow their way WED deeper into a moral quagmire; and Quickfire, where shades of WED grey are dismissed in favour of a fingers-on-the-buzzers WED binary choice - "Would you rather eat a kitten or fight a WED swan?".
