FRIDAY 8 MAY - 22.30 GMT - BBC TWO
PRESENTER GAVIN ESLER

Hello,

Ever since they lost a Freedom of Information battle to block the publication of details of their expenses claims, MPs knew this day would come. What they didn't know was that it would come so soon.

Tonight, we ask how damaging the expenses revelations will be for the government and parliament. And we'll look at who is next in the firing line.

Also Stephen Sackur reports from ground zero in eastern Congo's zone of conflict - the frontline for the world's biggest, most expensive UN military mission.

And Newsnight Review looks at Irish literature this week with Colm Toibin's new novel Brooklyn and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.

Martha and the panel will also be reviewing the new Star Trek film - and right now on our website you can enjoy a guided tour round the home of Tony Alleyne - a Star Trek fan who boldly went where no interior designer had gone before - transforming his Leicestershire flat into a Star Trek spaceship.


Join us at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
