As the crowds descend on Birmingham's National
Exhibition Centre for this year's Motor Show, Mike Smith and Jenni Murray review the next generation of cars that will soon be appearing on Britain's roads. There's the new Jaguar in heavy competition with the latest offerings from
Mercedes and BMW, and at the other end of the market, a new sub-mini, the Subaru
Justy. Chris Goffey road tests many of the newcomers and looks at the sophisticated equipment that all cars - from family saloons to exotic sports cars - will carry in the coming decade.

Correspondent Michael Cole has been following the Queen on her 3,000-mile journey across China from the Forbidden City in Peking to the Tea Houses of Shanghai, from ancient Kunming to Canton and a dragon - dance farewell.

Outstanding among them is 14-year-old Rachel Southern. Destined for stardom perhaps, but also destined to realise that winning doesn't always mean coming first.

Clive Russell as the Creature plus contributions from Mel Brooks, Peter Cushing, Brian Aldiss (science fiction writer), Berni Wrightson (comics artist), and Forrest J. Ackerman (the world's leading collector of Frankenstein memorabilia)
This Everyman special traces the Frankenstein myth's extraordinary progress through modern culture, using a wealth of clips and illustrations. It includes the first television showing of the first Frankenstein film - the 1910 Edison version, which was lost for over 50 years and was finally found in an attic in the US mid-West.
At its heart is an original dramatisation of the major scenes from Mary Shelley's story, closely following - unlike other films - the spirit and content of the novel.
Combining dramatisation, film extracts, documentary sequences and interviews, Everyman explores a myth that still haunts us today.
