	Wednesday 1 September 2010 at 10.30pm on BBC Two Presented by Gavin Esler In his long-awaited memoirs, the former Prime Minister Tony Blair has described his successor Gordon Brown as "maddening" and lacking "emotional intelligence". Documenting the pair's tumultuous relationship in his book, A Journey, Mr Blair says that while his chancellor was "capable and brilliant", he had put him under "relentless" pressure. David Grossman will be considering what the memoirs tell us about Mr Blair's premiership as well as Blair/Brown relations, and we will be discussing the book's contents in the studio with Alastair Campbell, Lord Prescott and Chris Mullin. Mr Blair also says that he believes he was an "idiot" for introducing the Freedom of Information Act. He claims that FoI is not used, for the most part, by "the people", but by journalists, and argues governments, in reality, need to be able to discuss issues "with a reasonable level of confidentiality". We'll be discussing the merits of the Act in the studio with guests including the FoI campaigner Heather Brooke. Also in the programme, we'll have news of the resignation of William Hague's special adviser. Our Diplomatic editor Mark Urban is in Washington to bring us the latest on President Barack Obama's talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, and we'll have the first broadcast interview with the outgoing chair of Ofsted, Zenna Atkins. Join Gavin tonight at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
