	FRIDAY 3 OCTOBER 22.30 BST - BBC TWO FROM GAVIN ESLER Hello, Quote for the Day: "The whole Labour movement will be utterly perplexed at what the Prime Minister's motives are. This is an extraordinary step backwards into the worst elements of the Blair era, to reinstate possibly the most divisive figure in Labour's recent history" - Labour MP John McDonnell on the return of Peter Mandelson to the Government. In tonight's programme: Well, there you are. Not everyone is pleased that Peter Mandelson is back in the Cabinet, but Gordon Brown repeated that we need "serious people" to take "serious decisions" in these "serious times." And he wasn't joking. We'll debate the reshuffle, we're promised a Cabinet minister to give us the government view, and we'll have the latest on the vote in Congress on the bail out of the big banks. Gavin Don't forget to scroll down for details on tonight's Newsnight Review from Liverpool.

	PRESENTED BY KIRSTY WARK Tonight Newsnight Review is in Liverpool with guests, musician turned artist Holly Johnson, director Terence Davies, actor Ian Hart - all from hereabouts, and writer and critic Miranda Sawyer from - Manchester!!! We'll be broadcasting from a new art gallery featuring work from Kimathi Donhor and Garry Martin with an audience and the Liverpool poet Roger McGough will be performing for us. Le Corbusier: the Art of Architecture The city's status as European Capital of Culture was hard fought and at the outset was a bit fraught - not least because the Australian artistic director arrived late and stayed all of six months. But as the year has progressed Liverpool has gathered momentum and tonight we'll be reviewing the latest openings. Le Corbusier: the Art of Architecture is on at the Crypt of Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral - known as Paddy's Wigwam. It shows "Corb" as an artist, sculptor, furniture designer and architect and explores his villas, mass housing and masterplans. He was the most famous architect of the twentieth century and although there are no Le Corbusier buildings in Britain his spirit infuses the work of architects such as Denys Lasdun, James Stirling and Basil Spence. But he is reviled by some for providing the inspiration for the modernism of post-war mass housing. Le Corbusier's Unite d'habitation in Marseilles was revolutionary - but here estates such as Park Hill in Sheffield and the new town of Cumbernauld are mostly unloved. Sir Simon Rattle and the Liverpool Philharmonic Sir Simon Rattle watched the Liverpool Philharmonic as a boy and first conducted them as a 20-year-old. He was in Liverpool earlier in the year with the Berlin Philharmonic where he has been for six years and this week he returned to Liverpool to be honoured with the freedom of the city and conduct the city's orchestra again. The programme was an eclectic one with a premiere which reflected the Liverpool Phil's embrace of the contemporary. The night began with the orchestral interlude from Gotterdammerung. Then came the premiere of Songs of Joy by the Australian Brett Dean - specially commissioned by The Liverpool Culture Company 08 - then there was more Wagner, and finally Sibelius's 5th Symphony - the piece Rattle conducted here for his debut 35 years ago - that brought the audience to their feet. As Rattle said "talk about a home match." Eric's Eric's was a shambolic punk club which opened across from the famous Cavern Club in 1976 and was a breeding ground for punk bands and their retinues. It was a cult place - the kind of place that makes a huge mark on teenage years. Echo and the Bunnymen started there, Holly Johnson was there - and everyone from The Clash to the Cocteau Twins and Talking Heads played at Eric's. Now in a musical that's like Mamma Mia for the punk generation the writer Mark Davies Markham has written "Eric's" inspired by his memories of Eric's which helped him through his experience of leukaemia. Brideshead Revisited The big film of the week is Brideshead Revisited. Classic books are often adapted into less than two hours of screen time - Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca - so has Andrew Davies and Jeremy Brock's script captured Waugh's book, the overwhelming importance of religious obedience and the stifling and devastating impact of class? If you have seen the Granada series is there going to be an inevitable comparison with one the greatest ever pieces of TV drama? Ben Wishaw plays Sebastian Flyte, and Mathew Goode is Charles Ryder. Lady Marchmain is played by Emma Thompson. Castle Howard plays Brideshead, as it did in the eighties series. We've also been talking to Liverpudlians - Paul O'Grady and Pete Postlethwaite among them about what they make of the Culture Capital year, I hope you'll join us from Liverpool.
