FRIDAY 13TH MARCH 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO
PRESENTED BY KIRSTY WARK



Hello viewers,

I'm just back from deepest Sussex where I interviewed the Chancellor as the G20 finance ministers meet to plan how they are going to save the global economy.... How advanced are their plans? And do they really agree on anything?

Also tonight, after a sad but historic week in Northern Ireland, Michael Crick assesses whether something fundamental has changed in the politics of the Province.

And as we await the return of more troops from Iraq, will they be met by the same protests as the Royal Anglian Regiment faced in Luton? We'll debate.

Do join us for all that at 10.30pm, and scroll down for news of what's happening on Review at 11pm.





newsnight review
PRESENTED BY KIRSTY WARK
Tonight on Review we have a television extravaganza.

In the studio with me are the award-winning director of The Damned United, Tom Hooper who has a long list of film and TV credits to his name from EastEnders to John Adams; Jana Bennett, former head of Science at the BBC, and now the Director of BBC Vision, she was responsible for bringing Walking With Dinosaurs and The Human Body to our screens; Stephen Garrett, boss at Kudos Film and Television, who delivered such groundbreaking series as Spooks and Life on Mars; the stand up comic, author and avid TV consumer, Natalie Haynes; and the award winning TV critic, Andrew Billen.

They will all be addressing the question: is television dead?

Has TV run out of ideas and money? Is there any risk-taking? Does television surprise and delight audiences anymore? What are the must-see programmes? Are American broadcasters delivering what we can't?

Is TV still capable of conducting a national conversation? Or has a combination of recycling of ideas, fakery scandals, and multi channel options, jaded viewers' palates?

Please get involved - leave your comments here


And do join us at 11pm.
