An hour-long programme focusing on the first televised leader debate, presented by Kirsty Wark in London and Emily Maitlis in Manchester. Political editor Michael Crick is giving us up to the minute reaction and analysis. There is reaction from senior Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat politicians, and veteran US broadcaster Charlie Rose tells us how the debate compares with US presidential debates. Justin Rowlatt is assessing how the debates have played out in social media, and Newsnight's political panel of Danny Finkelstein, Lance Price and Olly Grender join us in the studio.
