³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Here's Martha's look ahead to Newsnight Review:

"It is really sad news about Charles Wheeler. He was very kind to me when I first started as a current affairs reporter. I have always respected his beautifully understated journalism and particularly enjoyed his radio documentaries in recent years. He also appeared as a panellist on Newsnight Review - we'll be reminding you of some of his appearances at the end of the programme.

Tonight on Review we have two panels. The grown ups are John Mullan, Kate Mosse and Sarah Churchwell. We also recruited a group of junior critics to review High School Musical on stage. What a bizarre experience that was, a mix between tweenie hysteria and a panto with young girls dressed as cheerleaders, chanting "we love Troy". Our young critics are uncannily like the older version, as you'll see. You can watch a preview of their review .

We will kick off though by discussing the six novels on the shortlist to be crowned Best of the Booker. The shortlist is: The Siege of Krishnapur by JG Farrell, The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer, Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey, Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie, The Ghost Road by Pat Barker and Disgrace by JM Coetzee. Our panellist John Mullan was one of the judges responsible for drawing up the shortlist, so he will give us the inside track. You can vote for the one you want to win via the Man Booker , and tell us what you think too on the Newsnight blog.

Our other items are a film by the director of The Station Agent, Tom McCarthy. The Visitor features an amazing performance from Richard Jenkins, whom I loved as the dead father in Six Feet Under.

And we'll also be discussing Bonekickers, a new ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ drama from the makers of Life on Mars. It's about a team of archaeologists - Spooks crossed with Time Team.

Hope you can join us all later,

Martha"
