	FRIDAY 5 SEPTEMBER 22.30 BST - BBC TWO FROM KIRSTY WARK Hello, GOOGLE Do you remember the world before Google? It is ten years since Stanford university students Larry Page and Sergey Brin hit upon an idea which transformed the idea of how we access information. Now Google is one of the fastest growing companies in history. But is too much information in the hands of one company a good thing? And, given that it has faced criticism over its activities in China and its stance on privacy, can it ever truly live up to its informal corporate motto, "Don't be Evil." Tonight, as the company celebrates its first decade, we google Google. US ELECTIONS The razzamataz of the US conventions is over. Away from the adoring, placard waving, badge displaying, hat wearing crowds in Denver and Minnesota our two regular Democratic and Republican party pundits will be casting forward to the next eight weeks of electioneering. Peter Marshall is back in Washington from Minnesota where he'll be assessing the McCain speech. Hours after he spoke, new jobless figures showed unemployment was at its highest in five years. Paul Mason will be looking at the US parties? plans for saving the American economy - the dynamo of the world. PAKISTAN The Pakistan government has said today that US raids have killed more civilians in the country's North West Frontier. Tomorrow, there is a presidential election, which Benazir Bhutto's widower Asif Ali Zardari is expected to win. We'll be assessing where that leaves the country's security and relations with the West. And then on to Review at 11pm....

	PRESENTED BY KIRSTY WARK And at 11pm, Newsnight Review is back. I'll be joining my guests Julie Myerson, Antonia Fraser and Michael Gove. The Duchess They'll be deep in costume drama with The Duchess, the story of the 18th century beauty and celebrity Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, played by Keira Knightley. Born Georgiana Spencer she was Princess Diana's great great great great aunt, and controversially, the publicity for the film makes the most of the uncanny parallels between the two lives: marriage to an older man who wanted an heir, and who kept a mistress, a fashion icon who had a great knack for publicity and threw herself into causes - in Georgiana's case - Whig politics. Paul Auster - Man in the Dark The New York author Paul Auster's Man in the Dark follows his book Brooklyn Follies in that they both feature 9/11, although not, in this case, how you might expect. Auster takes us into the night-time imaginings of 72-year-old August Brill, a celebrated writer and critic who lies in his daughter's house in Vermont unable to sleep. Brill conjures up a story in which America is not at war with Iraq but once more with itself. Regret and death haunt this book which also celebrates the redemptive power of the family. Tess of the d'Urbervilles Sexual politics and the idea of "the fallen woman" as evinced in The Duchess also prevailed in late Victorian Britain. Thomas Hardy was acutely aware of the hypocrisy and double standards that women suffered and to expose it all he wrote his masterpiece Tess of the d'Urbervilles. The book, which first appeared in episodes, had a cool reception when it was published in 1891 but is now regarded as a classic. Roman Polanski cast the young Nastassja Kinksi as Tess in his film, and now ten years after ITV's adaptation, BBC2 has made a four part drama for Sunday nights, with Gemma Arterton as the poor, clever Tess traduced by the scheming Alec d'Urberville played by Hans Matheson. Dorian Gray Matthew Bourne delighted audiences with his witty, camp Swan Lake and with several other reinventions of modern and classic fables (including the fabulous Edward Scissorhands) and now he has given Oscar Wilde's only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, a modern setting, in which Dorian is the face of a new perfume Immortal (get it!) and is seduced and corrupted by the narcissistic, venal world of media and advertising.
