| Wednesday 18 November from 2230 GMT - BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman There was one aspect of today's Queen's Speech which made a decisive break with tradition - the Commons Speaker John Bercow ditched the stockings worn by his predecessors for the State Opening of Parliament in favour of trousers. Tonight, Michael Crick will examine the details of the speech to assess what other change is afoot - looking at the new measures outlined and giving his assessment of how many of them are likely to actually get passed, given that there is so little time left before the next general election. We will also be discussing what the contents of the speech and the reaction of the other parties tell us about how the election campaign ahead is likely to play out. Also, Sarah Palin is back on the campaign trail - this time promoting her 413-page autobiography Going Rogue: An American Life. Tonight, we have a report from the US on the failed US vice-presidential candidate's prospects and those of the wider Republican party. And we have a fascinating film on North Korean defectors in which we hear the experiences of three people who have fled the Stalinist state, including one man who was anti-tank battalion commander in North Korea's military. Join Jeremy at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
