Newsnight Review: Is TV doomed? That is the question Newsnight Review will try to answer tomorrow night, with a panel of critics and industry insiders.
Doomed is putting it a little strongly, perhaps, but there is no doubting that television is facing a crisis, with funding drying up, and in the wake of all the fakery rows of recent months.
But Review is asking whether the problem is a more fundamental one.
Has television just run out of ideas? Are all the formats derivative? Are all the dramas a bit samey? Is everything just a bit safe and predictable?
Or, do you feel that television is still pushing the boundaries?
We want to know what you think. Was there ever a golden age of TV? If so, when was it? Or are we living through it right now?
Is TV still at the centre of our national conversation, and if not, does that matter?
What is the best and boldest programming around right now?
What was the best TV programme ever made?
And how do you think we will be watching TV in 10 years? Will we be watching it at all?
Let us know by leaving your comments on the blog
here And do tune in, or set your VHS, your recordable DVD player or digital recording device for Friday night.
That's if Newsnight Review is not already series linked on your set top box. Or you're not watching from your mobile phone. Or from outer space...
