SATURDAY 6 JUNE - 19.30 BST - BBC TWO
PRESENTED BY GAVIN ESLER



From the web team:

It has been an extraordinary week in politics - six ministers quit, forcing Prime Minister Gordon Brown to conduct one of the one of the most chaotic Cabinet reshuffles in recent political history, Labour lost key heartland local authorities in a battering at the polls and Mr Brown faced attempts to oust him from a so-called "peasants' revolt" of MPs.

And that is just what has been happening in the Labour party.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

So, in a change to TV schedules, there will be a special Saturday edition of Newsnight at 7.30pm tonight on BBC Two.

Our political editor Michael Crick will be looking back at the events of the last week, analysing what has happened and what we can expect next.

Our correspondent David Grossman will be looking at the origins of the "peasants' revolt" and how much of it is due to ongoing rivalries between supporters of Mr Brown and those of former PM Tony Blair.

Gavin Esler will be speaking to those involved and political grandees including Charles Kennedy and Roy Hattersley.

Do join Gavin at 7.30pm on BBC Two.
