Dotun Adebayo was a breath of fresh air to the panel tonight - his incisive and informed criticism made a welcome change to some of the loud polemic on recent shows. Please invite him back asap.

Three cheers for John Carey's comments on the false perception of Jane Austen as a romantic novelist which is currently so rife in the media. I know that this perception intensely irritates me and many of my female friends, and I think Prof. Carey spoke for many of us, most articulately too. I'm particularly impressed that he, a male critic, can appreciate that this insult to Jane Austen is also an insult to women writers and to women in general.

Prof Carey gave the end of the George Clooney film away when he told us that George let the woman go. Saved a fiver there.

Hello Newsnight Review, How do you do?
Now the newsday is done lets have some fun.
A time to gossip and have a natter
Guests getting angry? Oh dear what's the matter?

HIS review says this is pretty crappy,
while she says it made HER very happy,
A third says you're both wrong but lets not fight,
The last says 'Listen, I'M the one who's right'.

Each shows their skill with the verbal sword,
Their heated words rising heavenward,
where people wonder, with softer heart,
would the world be so dark if there was no art?

I have watched Newsnight Review for years, since it was Late Review, even. I seem to remember a format where the presenter would introduce the item, then he would go around the table (or nowadays, the sofa) offering each guest a chance to speak on the item, uninterrupted. Now, a guest is hardly given the chance to finish his/her first sentence before another guest or even the presenter interrupts them with a loud voice asking them a question or making some point. Often a third person will then start to speak to the second person. It's obviously supposed to be more 'genuine', less elitist and is designed to make the viewer 'feel in the company of the guests'. It actually alienates the viewer. All this shouting over each other, and over-passionate gestures are a complete turn off. We can't concentrate on one person or idea for any length of time before someone interjects with their terribly heartfelt views on something or other. What's wrong with a bit of reserve? Why not let one person explore an idea or argument? This current format means that nothing is treated with any real thought, and the most important thing is who can shout the most.

the good german thank you dudes for the overlay of the good german it put me off ever wanting to see it.
is it just me or are films of late,for want of a better word bad movies.
the illusionist being the exception along with the pick of destiny.
Not that ive seen the queen but that looks bad t00 i cant watch 5 mins of her christmas address with out falling a sleep.

Peace love empathy.

Jane Austen may be the most intelligent women's writer but she hardly bears comparison with writers such as Tolstoy.
The only form of literature which women have truly made their own is detective fiction.Patricia Highsmith,PD James and Ruth Rendell have all been forerunners in the genre.Agatha Christie was an enormous talent and a publishing phenomenom.This is a strange quirk in women's writing talents and quite inexplicable but hardly contentious.

wee folding bike wrote at post 3 that having been told the film's outcome he was saved a fiver.

Could he tell me where he visits for his film viewing, around here there is no seat price under 拢8:50p and those are few?

I have to say that it is becoming increasingly difficult to hear what people have to say on Newsnight review. People talk over each other, and many interesting points are lost because of an interruption just as the speaker was about to conclude her/his point. Please let people finish and please don't all talk at once all we hear is a babble.

The nwesnight presntation on 19 March was the worst piece of journalism seen on the programme for many a year. A fictisious future in the year 2020 presnted 'facts' which only supportwd the bias of US and British reasoning for the war. For a news programme which claims to be an independant observer of global politics this was a disgrace. It leaves those of us who thought you had some commitment to objectivity in dispair. Shame on you 成人快手.

I can never understand the fascination of Jane Austen-isn't this just the usual Mills and Boone rubbish writ loud?

One of the interesting aspects of Austen is the way romantic love is constantly thwarted by the demands of society.Communal social occasions are often the cause of friction-an example might be the lunch at box hill in Emma.A character such as D'Arcy is particularly unpleasant when he conforms to society's standards.When he proposes to Elizabeth in the first instance he believes that she should be honoured by his proposal, as he is marrying into a family of a different class from his own.Worse,he graphically points out the awfulness of her parents,a misfortune over which Elizabeth has absolutely no control.
Austen was unusual for her time in portraying this tension so vividly.

Another half-baked luke warm programme.I suppose we should at least be grateful that The Review doesn't try to hide behind esoteric references.Mansfield Park,oh dear,oh dear.
