Andrew Neil talks to Sir Charles Villiers , Chairman of the British Steel Corporation, and to Select Committee member Michael Thomas , mp, about the risks of making this massive new investment in the steel business.
With William Woollard , The Risk Business team follows the breath-taking booms and slumps of a nationalised industry where rewards might be magnificent, but where mistakes now will cost billions of pounds.

The Swan in the Sky
Cygnus, the Swan, is one of the most beautiful of the constellations, and it contains some spectacular objects, including the very luminous Deneb - a star at least
10,000 times more powerful than the Sun-and the lovely coloured double star Albireo. Very recently astronomers have found a new object in Cygnus-a star surrounded by a highly luminous disc from which planets may be in the process of formation.
In this programme, Patrick Moore shows where to look for Cygnus, and describes some of the interesting objects on view there.
