Part 2: Lawrence Durrell 's Egypt
In a sequel to the Greek Spirit of Place, Peter Adam takes Lawrence Durrell back to the setting of his four famous novels, The Alexandria Quartet.
The journey starts in Alexandria and follows the Nile to Upper Egypt, to Aswan and Abu Simbel. Durrell revisits the Coptic monasteries of Wadi Natrun , the oasis of Fayum, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. He talks about his beliefs, his craft and his experiences as a writer: and evokes Egypt's two landscapes - the desert and the great river.

The latest news on British wildlife with Su Ingle and Michael Jordan There's stunning film in today's programme of the rarest of all British rare animals-the pine marten. This elusive and beautiful carnivore, looking rather like a large ferret but with a thick, bushy tail, is hardly ever seen nowadays, let alone filmed. Acting on a tip-off from some regular Wildtrack viewers, Su went to a secret location in the Highlands of Scotland and prepared herself for a long wait. But within hours first a male, and then a female pine marten came to within a few feet where she was sitting. The film Su made there is a unique piece of wildlife photography.

Introduced by Bernard Falk
A landslide, some electrical engineering and a viaduct to negotiate are some of the problems that teams from Britain and America have to overcome in their search for the defecting biochemists.
After seven-and-a-half hours of their 30-hour ordeal, the Americans have pulled out a one-and-a-half hour lead, but still no sign of the defector. The first problem this week is how to make a device that will continue to transmit an intermittent electrical signal when unattended.
The British are starting to argue among themselves, so can they pull themselves together and make up the lost time?

Victims and villains, leaders and led, the extraordinary and the ordinary. A new series of filmed documentaries about the way people live now. Phantom Ladies
A retired Ministry of Defence official, a university lecturer and a former naval lieutenant share a common desire with tens of thousands of men in this country: all three are transvestites - men who like to wear women's clothes. Raymond has cross-dressed for nearly a decade - with the help of his wife.
'It's a fantasy in a way because I can never be a real woman.... we can cross over and enjoy the lighter side, the happier side of the female world'. Like most transvestites, Raymond is heterosexual and until now, kept his desire a secret. For this programme all three men talk openly about the myths and realities of transvestism; of the effects this greatly misunderstood syndrome has had on their lives and those closest to them.
