| Wednesday 3 March 2010 - 2230 GMT - BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman "On the Old-New Labour-ometer, fair to say that Michael might be placed closer to the old than the new. But he was a phenomenal support. He took as much pride in the three election wins under Tony Blair" - Tony Blair's former communications chief Alastair Campbell commenting on the death of former Labour leader Michael Foot at the age of 96. Tonight, our Political editor Michael Crick will be looking back at the life and career of Michael Foot, a lifelong peace campaigner and left wing rebel And in the studio we will be debating just how the party which he led for three years has changed since he was at the helm. Also, with the prospect of a hung parliament hanging over us David Grossman reports on what such a scenario would mean both politically and economically, what history has taught us and what role the Lib Dems might play. Matt Frei has a report from Cuba - a country that largely relies on the past to survive. Tourists flock to cigar factories and Hemmingway's house, and for the regime mythology helps keep it in place, but the past can be both a blessing and curse for Cuba? Plus, what a load of rubbish... with the River Thames at its lowest tide for five years hundreds of volunteers are trawling the banks for rubbish as part of a clean-up operation. Steve Smith will be joining them - cue the puns - surely you cannot refuse. |
