Smuggling, intrigue and murder are part of a world far from the mind of archaeologist David Red fern. He is on his way to supervise the dispatch of a newly discovered collection of antiquities in Tunis, but a torrential storm, a chance encounter with gun-runners and, suddenly, jealousy and violence open up to him. He is to learn the meaning of an inscription on a salamander, one of the treasures-' Not by ignoring evil does one overcome it, but by going to meet it'. Screenplay by VICTOR CANNING

Rock climbers call the sun-baked walls of California's Yosemite Valley vertical desert; vast slabs of rock soar up from the valley floor shimmering in the desert heat. Of all the rock faces El Capitan is the most awe-inspiring. Its summit overhangs the valley floor 3,000 feet below. This award-winning film follows the three days that three climbers spent perilously ascending the rock face. It is tense and exciting.

with Swami Bhavyananda
After 30 years of working as a monk in isolated parts of India, SWAMI BHAVYANANDA was ordered to England to run the British branch of the Ramakrishna Order. When he arrived, he found that the Maharishi and The Beatles had popularised meditation and Eastern religion, and he was expected to be a guru. In tonight's programme he talks about the way a simple Indian monk learned to deal with people desperate for knowledge of Eastern spirituality.

The Perseids
Meteors, or shooting stars, space debris shed by comets travelling round the sun, can produce brilliant displays and the Perseids, seen each year between 27 July and 17 August, are unusually spectacular. They are of special interest during the early 1980s, because the comet associated with them - Swift-Tuttle - is due back having been unobserved for 120 years.
Patrick Moore talks to John Mason , who led an expedition to France to study the Perseids, and looks forward to the return of Halley's Comet, which also is associated with meteor showers.
