Leaders' debate: Live Posted by at 3 37 PM on Thursday, April 15

Will it change British history forever, will it, as David Cameron fears, be slow and sluggish, or will it be called off entirely because of the Iceland volcano?

Gordon Brown, Cameron, and Nick Clegg are getting ready to go head-to-head-to-head in the first of three, 90-minute, US-style televised showdowns from 8.30pm.
