TUESDAY 10TH FEBRUARY 22:30 GBT - BBC TWO
Presented by Jon Sopel



This is the sort of put your feet up day where the running order for tonight's programme writes itself. I mean, how often is it that you have one time kings of the universe strapped into the 21st century's equivalent of the ducking stool and the stocks, and humiliated before delighted Westminster eyes?

Yes, we will be looking at what unfolded when the ex heads of HBOS and RBS went before the Treasury Select Committee earlier today.

Our business editor, Paul Mason has been casting a critical eye over the proceedings. And we have an exclusive interview with Paul Moore, former head of group regulatory risk at HBOS, who raised fears that the bank was growing too quickly and putting itself in danger, and whose evidence caused heated exchanges in the Select Committee today.

We are also going to play Strictly Come Apologising. We will have a panel of judges to assess the artistic style and technical merits of their acts of contrition. Did 'the fallen ones' deport themselves with the poise and elegance of Fred Astaire with an ebony cane...or John Sergeant in Doc Martens?

As we are going on air Israel will have decided on their next government. Or rather, Israel will have voted. How Israel votes and who forms the next administration are two different things. The system of proportional representation invariably ensures days of hard fought haggling, but at least we should be clear what direction the country is heading in. Mark Urban is in Jerusalem for us.

And Peter Marshall has more on the case of Binyam Mohamed.

Join us this evening at 10.30 on BBC 2
