A series of six programmes presented by Jonathan Miller 1: Out of Sight - Out of Mind'It is a lonely life - you do feel very isolated,' says Gillian Rowell, who looks after her
32-year-old disabled daughter at home. Meanwhile, just up the road, her father Jack Stanley is caring for his wife who has Alzheimer's disease. Gillian and Jack are among the six million people in Britain who look after relatives or friends needing long-term care. Like most carers, they want to care, but they need help in order to go on coping.
So who cares for the carers? This programme shows how carers can get the information and support that's theirs by right. Film editor PETER RINGSTED Producer TONY MATTHEWS

Amazing
Delores Her red lush lips deliver the intense gutteral warbling of scat; her body is a sequinned shimmer quivering in leopard-skin pants, a beehive hairdo surmounts a face of night-clubbed beauty.
Amazing Delores, singer and friend of heavenly bodies;
'standing in front of my car was an angel and he was some big dude.'

A hard look at the natural world presented by Michael Buerk.
Return to Chernobyl
'We've become pariahs, plate-carriers; nobody needs us,' says a decontamination worker at the Chernobyl plant.
For the first time since the world's worst nuclear disaster three years ago, a television crew has been back to Chernobyl - not just to the plant itself, but to the haunted villages that surround it.
Thirty-one people died and 91,000 were made homeless. An army of workers is still trying to clear up the radioactive mess. Does that mean all is now safe, or does the tragedy of Chernobyl still linger on? Series producer

An insight into the first few months of Britain's first purpose-built AIDS hospice. London Lighthouse is an experiment. The building is striking. The approach to nursing is radical. The project could provide a model for the health care of the future.

Beatty King, 26, is one of 15 nurses working at Lighthouse. On night shift, she spends the small hours gently negotiating with Colin, who's desperate to smoke, and sitting with Christopher, who is close to death.

The patients appreciate having as much say as possible in how they are looked after. But as relationships develop, emotional pressures increase. Beatty admits, 'I don't think I realised what I was letting myself in for....'
