Next week on Newsnight we're making our foray into drama with a series of films entitled 10 Days to War. This may prove controversial, but we hope it will also open up the debate about the war in Iraq in new and revealing ways. The issue our viewers most often ask us to revisit is - by some distance - the decision to go to war in Iraq.

What do people think of this?

The war in Iraq has been done to death and frankly I'm fed-up with hearing about it. So... no.

It's not going to leave much news content left for Scotland if we opt out at the usual time.

Paxo will harrumph so much he'll be in danger of prolapsing.

I'll be interested in watching the drama, but think it would have been better running it at 10pm, getting Paxo to do the debate after, then starting Newsnight with a different presenter at the usual time.

Of course they wouldn't be able to use TC7 to do the debate as the Ten would be in there!

The debate doesn't have to be live does it? They are debating a recorded drama - so it could be that they do it earlier in the day (though there isn't a huge gap in the schedule these days)

Yes, I was disgracefully led to believe for a good 5 seconds that Brown had casually mentioned that 'AND SO THERE WILL BE WAR ON THE PASSING OF THE 10TH DAWN', but alas, it was not to be. Búgger.

This will be very interesting. I shall withhold judgement until I've seen it.

You will?

Then you're no good to this forum. No good at all.
