An extended political review of the week presented by Andrew Neil, with the result and reaction from the Rochester and Strood by-election count.

He is joined by Michael Portillo and Alan Johnson to talk to writer, journalist and broadcaster Ekow Eshun about Band Aid, Africa and Ebola.

There's a film of the week from Quentin Letts of the Mail, before Miranda Green and Suzanne Evans join the debate.

Comedian Omid Djalili gives his views on taste in the week when a space scientist apologised for his poor taste in shirts and the decision to ban Julian Blanc from the UK.

Plus the programme moves into by-election mode with Andrew waiting for the result and looking at the campaign with Iain Duncan Smith and George Eustice taking turns for the Conservatives, Labour's Vernon Coaker, UKIP's Suzanne Evans and Lib Dem Brian Paddick.

Through the night, BBC political editor Nick Robinson has updates and reaction from the count centre in Kent.
