	Monday 16 August 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Kirsty Wark Competition for university places is expected to be particularly fierce this year, with fewer places likely to be available through clearing - the process that matches students who have failed to get the right grades with free places on alternative courses. But are university degrees worth the estimated £23,000 price tag? As students and employers consider alternatives to a university education we will debate their value with a panel including Higher Education Minister David Willetts. Naomi Campbell's appearance at The Hague created headlines around the world, but day and daily someone else is making a name for himself at the trial of Charles Taylor. We have an interview with Courtaney Griffiths QC tonight, the flamboyant lawyer who's representing the Liberian leader and has become "the personality" of the blood diamonds war crimes trial. Then we have the first in a series of films from Hartcliffe in Bristol, where we meet those who rely most heavily on services under threat from planned public spending cuts which David Cameron has said will affect "our whole way of life". In the first film we focus on single parents. Gie's a job! What do Labour politicians do to hold on to power (and make the country a better place)? We'll be joined by John Prescott to talk about coalitions and collaborators. Do join me, Kirsty, at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
